Relax, guy, it was a joke.  I've got no particular stake in whether Spain remains as it is or breaks into smaller regions.

...but seriously, there's no way Spain wins the World Cup without Catalan help.

we allow people to choose their identity and offer as many options as reasonable. sometimes this causes problems when there are disputed countries. but we aren't picking sides - we're a chess site trying to make people happy. we encourage people to resolve their differences in the appropriate political venues, not on our site.


Then please give the chance to Texas people and create a Texas flag country...and also a confederate country flag  then you will make  a lot of southerns HAPPY !!!

You are the tipycal  american ignorat. Iniesta who   makes the decisive goal in the final is not from Catalonia...and  anyway all of them are spanish players...and this is because Catalonia doesnt play the world cup...OK ?

...did you catch the point where I said it was a joke?  And that I didn't have any preference either way on the issue of Catalan independence?

I suspect a "tipycal american ignorat" is not good.

I'm not sure you fully understand that particular issue.  There are tens of millions of us around the rest of the U.S. who would be absolutely thrilled to see Texas become independent.

i can't really blame this dude for being worked up.  people who aren't close to this situation don't really have any idea how heated it really is.  this is a mess.  no matter what chess.com chooses they won't make everyone happy.  similar to the ulster situation.  i like all the flags but not the bad blood.  i wish there was an easy solution.

Well, this has been a very informative and entertaining thread.  I never knew there were so many disputed flags, countries and ways to spell ignorant.  I am glad the OP put this out here so we can all become better informed and insulted at the same time.  At this point I have forgotten what the original argument was, if it is a country and should have a flag, or isn't a country and shouldn't have a flag, or is an amusement park and should have six flags.  But, it is time to get back to chess, which is my reason for being on this site.  The only flag I care about is the one on my clock (old school clock, that is).  May the flag never fall on your last move.

And that Catalonia is not a sovereign country is a basic you must learn in the high school...at least in normal high schools...

This is not a casual mistake...


No, it´s not. Chess.com is in reality just a front operated by catalan separatists.

You have blown their cover, watch out...
