Hi guys,

by considering that almost 46% of the chess.com members are yankees, what do you think if the next vote chess match is USA vs. rest of the world?

as a vermonter, i try to stay out of geopolitical skirmishes. 

Cheater_1, Cheater_1..... Please report to the battlefield. 

I'm afraid they'll stand no chance

The yanks...after trying to bomb Iraq back to the stone-age since 2003... dunno anymore... lol!

I take personal offense to being called a Yankee...if anything, I'm a Red Sock.

They actually have some good players. That might outweigh the fact that 90% of american players on the site are halfwits.

AMERICA IS AWESOME! WHOOOO, HOOOOORAAAHHH!

"AMERICA IS AWESOME! WHOOOO, HOOOOORAAAHHH!" Richman.

Thanks, Richman, for proving Kingfisher's point.

that is not a compliment to be called a yankee

LoL...America is great and it is awesome...so why keep quite about something so great?

I think it would be fun.  My bet's on us.  Assuming the 'half wits' don't out vote the more experienced players.

I think that since so much shell casing survived they may have been blown forward into the iron age... jk.

And I'm all for the match, though as a Canadian I may end up under the thumb of the Americans (thankyou, everyone who voted Conservative )

To Kingfisher...

I'm just wondering why someone with a rating just barely over 1400 refers to "90% of Americans on the sight as halfwits. This isn't about politics dummy.

If you must critizice, at least get your rating a bit higher otherwise you have no credibility. 

 

 

Maybe I was a bit harsh. It's just 40% half wits, 50% simply bad players.

CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG ?!

..ok, sorry: I didn't want to offend anyone!! I thought "yanks" was a nice nickname to call people from USA...

but finally, what do u think if the next vote game is USA vs. rest of the world?

Yank doesnt mean american, itsa a title given to americans I AM AN AMERICAN!
