Well... Carlsen is the current world champion, Kasparov is a former world champion, and Aronian and Grischuk have participated in multiple Candidates' Torunaments. So they're all pretty famous, at least in the chess world.

I assume you are joking.

But if not; my question meant how do you know these are the accounts of famous players? MeditatingFox has his location as the U.S. and, as far as I know, Carlsen has not changed countries.Laughing

Well... if Carlen wanted to play on chess.com secretly, would it be more helpful for him to set his country to Norway, or to the US?

MeditatingFox is probably stronger than Carlsen anyway.

Sure. But, of course, supposedly he has been found out.

I think I would have chosen some out of the way nobody knows country like England.Laughing

You should know England, it's the place where the most desparate ones take your best women to marry.

No problem, just a strong player.

I've seen English women. I don't think it is about desperation as much as it is about saving their vision.Laughing

But his ratings doesn't show that he is exceptionally strong. He is good, but I've seen many with similar ratings.
