Do the majority of Finns have blond hair and blues eyes like other Nordic Countries fewlio is the question? Back in the day, they were of Germanic origin, i might be wrong. Same as my people,or whats left of my people. Its multicultural now. But we came from Germany, two brothers led an invasion, Hengist and Horsa.

For all the worth that these geo-political labels have...Finland is a Nordic country. It is not officially part of 'Scandinavia', and this is often confused by folks from elsewhere in the world, but it is Nordic. Commonly accepted and grouped as a Nordic country + officially designated Nordic = a Nordic country.
nordic also refers to people of nordic/germanic ancestry. the finns are not nordic, as I said. their country may be commonly accepted and grouped as a nordic country, but they are not a nordic country because the country is the land and people, and the people aren't nordic. even if it is officially designated nordic, it is mislabeled in that case.
england is angle land, the angles, saxons and jutes from northern germany and denmark. This is why I scoffed at the history channel tv show Vikings, that somehow the vikings were huge and totally outclassed the average sized english. they were literally the same people, seperated by a century or so. I doubt they looked much different in physical size and appearance.
many slavs are blond/red haired, blue eyed, but are also not strictly germanic. the swedish vikings called the Russ did found Ukraine and Russia, but i think there were a lot more slavs than vikings so the percentage of viking blood, well I wouldn't think it would be a huge percentage.
The Vikings lost against England, they held power for a long time with King Canute,etc, but lost in the end,to Harold 11 who in turn lost to William the Conqueror who was a descendant of Rollo the walker,lol. He was a man feared by the Roman Christians of the time and was given Normandy. I like history.

Is there some way to avoid playing against people of a certain nationality? I hate playing indians bcuz they pull some weird coccomany opening moves that make no sense n still they are winning games that they should deserve to loose. And also maybe not play against nortkoreans for political reasons???
I must have missed something here.
LOL, yeah, sounds a bit suspect now when i read it again.

I'm pretty sure coccomany is a word, heard it used once by Tony in The Sopranos...As for snortkoreans, those people should maybe learn the concept of revolting against their lunatic itchy sticky trigger happy fingerered idiotic leadership. heck, even Trump seems intelligent in comparison...
Haha so true! Indian beginners tend to play very weirdly...I find queen's gambit effective against them. They also have bad manners and try to wind you up on the chat

This.
Chess isn't about choosing the opening your opponent will play. If you cannot counter his moves you deserve to lose.

Is this mean spirited thread supposed to be some kind of joke? What the hell is wrong with you people? This is the first time I have encountered such a hateful thread on Chess.com. I don't understand why the MODS will delete the word shit from a thread but are not bothered by this shit. Yours Sincerely, Randi
I am indian and i dont play some "weird coccomany opening moves" and still lose.
they should just get rid of that stupid fair play thing. I mean if you don't want to play someone you shouldn't flippin have to! imagine losing rating points for not wanting to play suspect characters, sheesh!
