Wasn’t Korchnoi thinking about playing with the Jolly Roger flag once upon a time?
Why doesn't chess.com offer the Jolly Roger, like L-word?

Chess isn't a sport either, it's a bleeding board game, albeit an extremely good one.
For the record, a chess grandmaster would stand pretty much no chance at checkers against a checkers grandmaster.
a new chess emoji!

I wonder how Nepo feels about it? It seems an exception should be made for chess, which is not impacted by a "doping" problem.

Ian Nepomniatchi won't be able to play under the Russian flag in the world championship match against Magnus Carlsen.
This isn't much big of a deal and is not going to impact the game in any way whatsoever , but everyone loves to and has a desire to represent their country in a big event , which Ian would not be able to unfortunately.

I don't think it will make much of a difference
But yeah, it would be better if he was allowed to represent his country

Ye I feel bad
There was a big incident in checkers this week (by no means the trivial game that many chess players seem to think) where a Russian played under a Russian flag.
Russia is still serving an International sporting ban for hiding drug usage so it comes back to the old "Is Chess/Checkers a sport" question.
That proves that checkers isn't a sport.
As for the checkers-chess comparison,computers solved checkers in 2007. It will take hundreds of years of computer advancement to solve chess.
Checkers is like tiddlywinks compared to chess.
