Is there a player from North Korea playing on chess.com? It's illegal to play on chess.com there

But it's much more likely they're just posing as North Korean, of course.

Some of my best friends are N. Koreans. But that is strictly classified and only on a need to know basis.

Oh yeah, sure.

Please, nobody should respond to my post. IF you do you could be putting your life in danger. I am putting my life in danger by posting the above thread but it does not matter, my life already is.

I hang out here because I thought I could blend in and not be noticed. Looks like I blew that one.

It is not easy when you are trying to save the world but is an assignment that I excepted no matter what the costs.

Pray for me.

You have mental issues, and my sympathy. But BS is still BS.

I matched with a NK player as well, was very surprised to see it but also assumed it was likely just someone using VPN. They resigned in the opening for seemingly no reason 🤷🏻

You don't need to disguise your location to choose North Korea in your profile settings.

Internet access is rare in North Korea and access to the Web, as we know it, even more rare. Any claim to be playing from North Korea should be taken with a large grain of salt.

I've seen it a few times and never believed it. It works as a joke, nothing more.

That person is not a North Korean, obviously. Just some guy who uses the NK flag for some reason, probably just as a joke. There are hundreds of them.

its not a joke we North Korean take chess very seriously.
