I find the name Dinesh D'Souza on the U.S. Chess Federation website. I don't know if this is the same person because it could be a common Indian name, and a great many people from India play chess. The membership of the person on the USCF website expired in 2005 and he lived in California where Dinesh D'Souza also lived at the time so it could be the same person.

In response to the video I wrote the following comment:
"Speaking as someone who is barely ranked at the Expert level, I think that men and women have different inclinations toward competitive sports, where chess is a somewhat ego-driven sport. Women by their nature prefer activities that are more cooperative. Studies have shown that women are less inclined to engage in analytical thinking even though they are equally capable of it.
I haven't watched the show yet, but my concern is that Hollywood movies are full of heroes who rise to the top with little or no effort. This is not reality, and chess is an incredibly difficult game to master."
