Played chess with players from all countries (241)
The UN has 193 member countries, FIFA 211 and chess.com has 241 between countries and regions; yes, chess emerged before the countries, although it admits more divisions, paradoxically, I understand that this sport unites us regardless of the result of the games. By the way, today I managed to reach the goal of playing chess with players from all over the world. In other words, on my Chess.com profile, I completed the awards passport section by getting all his flags and a bunch of new friends.
In the pandemic together with my son we got hooked on chess, since then we have shared this passion between training, games and game analysis. I remember that with the rise of the Internet, and "the Point com", my first online games on this platform that allowed me to continue playing chess for years with a friend who had emigrated to the US.
I thank the Internet, chess.com and the entire community, sometimes I think that we do not value the Internet enough, I do not stop being surprised by its development with the apps with the high mobile penetration that it had worldwide, the digital irruption in the different industries, programming, data and AI. Undoubtedly, if history began with writing, since 1995 with the launch of the Internet WWW, knowledge of all things and the connectivity of the planet began. We have all learned a lot about everything and we have access to information and services as if it were an extension of our body, constituting an evolution to "Homo Sapiens Tech" in a Digital Pangea that unites us, reduces distances and differences.
To my son (alpha generation, what I learn from him is impressive) in one of our talks to mediate the frustrations of losing and not being a Capablanca, Alekhine, Carlsen or Nakamura. Beyond the benefits of chess, I told him: "...it's true that you can hardly be number one, maybe you can find a category in which you can stand out. And this applies to everything you do in life." And he replied: "Yes, dad. When I finish classes, I'm also going to get the 241 flags but with fewer games than you."
We created the following Global Citizens Club, the club of players who aspire to have all 241 flags in their profile passport. Everyone is welcome, there are no entry restrictions or time limits to achieve it, that depends on each one.

Happy Halloween!
I love the team and club that we are forming with members of all nationalities, we already have members from the five continents. If you are thinking of representing your country, our global club aspires to have members from all countries and regions of the world.
How can I find rivals from a certain country/region? Two answers, in both you have to look for the players one by one within the community, one would be the super easy way and the other the easy way.
The first, that players from all countries were in the same place. We believe that this place will be our club in a short time, we already have members from the 5 continents.
The second is to search for the players in our community by country, through this link. Search is to your right of the screen. First you select the country that you are missing and give it a search. Players from the desired country will appear on the screen, you have to start challenging until they accept a game. Due to the time difference and connectivity difficulties, I recommend avoiding live mode.
