Michael, first of all, I want to say that I am sorry for your country and I hope you are safe rn. I often play chess to not to think about negative things in life. I believe racism and politics between countries have no place in a chess site. You can think the other way it is fine by me. But no one has the right to write me stuff about bombing my country on a chess site.

Please report these players so use your screen shot and report them
I have blocked and reported him/her of course and many others like him. The goal of the topic is not about name n shame. It is about the increasing number of racist people on this website. This guy is just a good example, so I wanted to share it here. I do not expect any particular action from chess.com, since they can't help but block the account. I just needed to speak about it this time I guess.
That's the kind of dude who smashes his laptop after losing. Pity him.

I pity his parents who probably paid for that laptop.

Some do it to take out their negativity onto others especially when they're anonymous.

I do the same in real life. I’ve “blocked” many people who’ve been overly negative, rude, hateful, and threatening from being in my life. It took me many years to learn I have the right to live peacefully rather than bending and twisting to somehow continue letting them have access to my life.
Thankfully I have disabled chat long ago and never enabled ever since.
Works like a charm
"Player x would like to chat."
Oh yeah...? Nope... Decline...

Lots of players from Turkey have been racist against me over at lichess
You can just use the international title instead
They can't be racist to you if they don't know who you are
What if everyone is racist the whole time?1!

remember, it's just mind over matter:
if you don't mind, it doesn't matter (to a point).

I agree, using your mobile is racist! And I can’t stress enough how talking to men and women is transphobic! It’s all about not wearing an underwear! If you were an underwear, you are islamophobic! Taking photos is so racist! and playing chess is really transphobic!
Hello all,
Recently, I have run into so many racist/violent chess players on this site. I am usually a chill dude because I do not care about nations that much. However, some players are crossing the red line. Here is a disgusting example from a game of mine, Idk what chess.com or us players can do about this, but I needed to get this out off my chest.
