Yes, I see that now. My apologies.

Sir,

        You have referred to "tons of evidence" to support your statement that non human animals can reason. Evidence is not proof - it is an indication. If I am found by the police with a gun and a nearby person who has been shot, there is evidence that I am responsible for shooting the victim. But this is not proof. An endless supply of examples coild be given of this.

        The cat chasing two mice, one of which escapes into a hole, simply is aware that a mouse (the one which did not escape into the hole) is still on the loose. This is not deductive reasoning.

If a monkey could play chess, to lose to one would be the worst thing; the best a monkey could do in rating wise would be 1000 level, and that is GM level for a monkey.

My mind is blown that any monkey would be below 700 rating unless they are young child.

If any monkey has played chess longer than 3 months, he should be at least 700. I was already an 800 when I was about three years old and I see some monkeys barely struggling to reach 700.

Are some monkies just naturally good with high IQ? Do you monkeys practice efficiently? What is stopping you from being 700 or higher?

From our national anthem:

"O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

You left out my favorite bit from the third verse about:

"Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave"

Why do chessing guys prefer to get their mind blown instead of the usual place ?
