Astrological Links Between Chess Grandmasters and Great Earthquakes

Chess is Like Life and Earthquakes are Like Grandmasters

On August 17, 1911, 150 miles east of the island of Palou, itself about 500 miles east of the Philippines, a shallow earthquake of 7.8 in magnitude occurred. It didn't do any damage as many quakes that size can do, if close enough to populated areas.

The article is surprisingly well-researched and contains observations like...

This first most significant aspect group has the strongest link between both earthquakes and chess grandmasters. It involves the Sun at 1/16th of a circle (22.5 degrees) from the midpoint of the planets Mercury and Mars (all as seen from the earth). Of the many earthquakes associated with this aspect grouping, the most prominent is the largest seismic event ever recorded (magnitude 9.5) which occurred in Chile on 22 May 1960 (and caused thousands to perish). The list of Grandmasters with an ELO rating of at least 2730, who were born at the time when this astrological aspect was in effect are listed below. The last 4 players on this list are the 20th, 6th, 7th, and 9th best players in the world at the moment (respectively).

Wow

I never even think in terms of 22.5 degrees. Sixteenth harmonic, hmm.

Wow.. And 22.5 adds up to 9, which is tied to Mars. The number of the Tower card is 16 (pretty much fitting the symbolism of the earthquakes), and it is also connected to Mars.
