Moving on, and taking 3rd prize will be... Belgium! They are very strong in terms of their youth with many young prodigies coming from that way. As I have only played 11 games my stats are not much to share. At the age of 70+ they still play

in the park and small tournaments but it's fair to say that majority of the players are young and still have a way to go in term of growth. Chess is defiantly not as common around here but for those who do know the game thrive.
Spain is next just behind: for their youth it is much different as the few children who do play don't excel at the game. However the Countries seniors are brilliant. Their attacking still must come from nature as every single game their were pawns storming up the board on both sides and, surprising, it works! Reviewing the games horrendously funny to see almost all of their moves marked as 'inaccuracy' with the coach saying 'This is a good move but not the best..'😂. Spain was defiantly one of my favorite places to play as the chess community it-self is was very polite and kind!
In last place is the US. Though being the biggest of all, chess is not a much played sport. I've been to a few tourneys; none being that competitive whatsoever. The best player I could find was a University student who I guess was just playing for fun as I easily destroyed him. P.S sorry Hikaru but you are a one in a million for you're country.
Hello everybody, welcome back to yet another blog! I know I haven't been so active recently and that reason is I've slowly traveling across Europe to learn about the culture of it and how they play the world famous game of chess! So far I've discovered the Countries of: Scotland, Spain, France Belgium, the US (United States) and, my home country, England.
To start with, England is probably not the best of the list but is highly ranked as the 2nd best. I have played 156 games here Including the time controls of Standard, Blitz and Rapid where I have got an Overall Rating of 1547 winnings 62% of my games (96) drawing 11% and losing 27%. The average rated played I'd meet to oppose is 1229. And so that's England..
