The nationality of the people you play against depends very much of the time of day you are playing and of course your own time zone.

Time zone and population of the players in chessdotcom.

US is GMT-8, UK is GMT+0, Bagdad is GMT+3, Moscow is GMT+3, Bombay is GMT+5.30.

I believe that next to Indians is British. Russia, being in the same time zone, has only 17910 population (1/15 of India), and has higher average rating (tho not material).

Great Britain is actually part of the United Kingdom (GB is the name of the island), these stats should show the UK 2nd in number of members and in percent of users.

I know. There is never anyone above 1900 in the /top standard game.

It is no fun waiting for an opponent to move on the Internet. In a standard game, the waits can be very long. Sitting across a table from someone is different, in my experience as someone who played in tournaments and for clubs for decades.
