Why does Chess.com has a bright future? One word: India, the most populated country in the world


Dear @calbitt5750, Sir, actually India became the most populated country on earth last year and yes Indian friends love chess for good reasons...


Sir, Wikipedia and the UN are clear and It was made official, India is the most populous country on earth, and chess.com has a bright future thanks to smart Indians who love Chess

Overpopulation is relative. I've gone to India. It's not that crowded. Overpopulation just means theres more strain on the environment, which reduces with an increase of technology.


I wouldn't say that many. India's people are starting to get richer and overall more wealthy. Chess takes a certain level of prosperity in a country(infrastructure +tech), and more and more of India is starting to have this money.
Is internet in India bad? I often ran into opponents who just ran out the clock in hopeless situation, instead of resign or continue on. I chalked it off as "maybe their internet was bad", instead of "he was disrespectful for wasting my time" and moved on, not reporting. But if it was the case, perhaps let the word out that it reflects badly on their proud country.

I just checked the list of countries on population, and the results showed India and America are currently about even, but I’d give America because of people from many different countries and immigrants. Wonder does it shows the same results on Google on google search for every country or different. Thanks

as someone goes to India almost every summer to see my grandparents, I can say it is really laggy. In the lockdown, I played a kahoot from school (US) from India, and even though I was the only one who got 12/12, I only got 730 ish points per question, giving me only 3rd place. Also in India, poer outages are really popular

I think the power outages are "common" not "popular".

Maybe because indians are the ones that cheat the most in this site? Or maybe because indians are the rudest players? Every time I play against an Indian I have to hope that they are not cheaters and even if they aren't they will be stalling once they start losing. I don't know dude take a guess
Yeah but tell us how you really feel. And don't hold back this time.

It's all about poer for the W

Most non-professional indians have very bad sportsmanship.

I find Indian players are very nice and fair play. It would be nice for chess.com to communicate on the numbers of players by country, wouldn't it @erik?

Well, actually the population of India and getting matched-up with Indians is odd, I rarely get paired against Indians.

Because, 40% of Indians, change their nationality to something else, because they kind of want to look cool or make it international, or some of them don't play your time limit or some of them do puzzles and a lot more things.
Go in any tournament today, u will find more Indians that's for sure
Maybe it’s also a point, but so far on this site for 12-13 years, I can recognise the pattern of playing and pattern with other things, that can indicate. Thanks

This is simply not true. Most non-professional players in any sport regardless of culture or nationality tend to have bad sportsmanship.
and a huge lover of chess. Since Anand was world champion and @India after all invented the original chess board. With the rice grain doubling every square story... Who knows the real story?
