North Korea Player?

I have three games played against North Koreans and I find it odd that there are so many. I believe all of them to be fake but still.

Good level of Chess in Korea.Hard to defeat ,on my opinnion.

This was one I win only for time. Korean player play whit Black but seems like Whites...Horse suffocating my King.As I said,good level of Chess. https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/119958708164?tab=analysis

It can 100% be faked. But there may be North Korean nationals who have successfully escaped to South Korea who still identify as North Korean nationals. It's possible you are playing these guys. I really have no idea what North Korean law says on chess or how strictly such a law, if it exists to begin with, is enforced.

Sometimes a nation want to show 
their intellectual /sportive capacity

Hi

mabye you could have been a tourist to north Korea and made an account there?

You can change your flag in settings

i think the guys or gals with the north Korean flag are trolling

You are almost certainly not playing against anyone actually located in North Korea
. On Chess.com, users can manually select any country flag, including North Korea, regardless of their true location. People often choose it for "meme appeal" as a joke, or to troll others, as it is a highly restricted, rare flag. Chess.com +3
Here is why you are seeing these, based on user discussions:
Manual Selection: The most common reason is that users voluntarily select the North Korean flag in their profile settings.
Trolling/Memes: Many players select it simply because it is rare or to get a reaction.
VPNs/Virtual Locations: While Chess.com uses IP address detection to set a default flag, users can easily change this.
Very Rare Exceptions: In extremely rare cases, it could be a North Korean national living or working abroad (., in China) or someone using a specialized, permitted, or, in rare, highly authorized scenarios, a state-sanctioned connection. Chess.com +6
It is highly unlikely for a regular citizen in North Korea to have open internet access, let alone access to a global gaming platform like Chess.com.

I played against 374 ‘north koreans’

You aren’t allowed internet access there

I faced a guy from NK but idk user name lol
