they are all grandmasters. once they see how weak the competition is here, they leave without bothering. all except for that one who was banned. . . . . engine user, pure and simple.

Anguilla is a tropical island group with a total population around 15,000, which equals about one country town. I can think of any number of reasons for the numbers you found, one being that the climate wouldn't tend to encourage indoor activities like chess.
