What's the easiest country to achieve NM in?

imean arent u 2500 blitz 🥀🥀

Ig they're not the hardest norms ever. I've had a 2200 perf tourney before I think

Then become a real chess player and stop obsessing about your rating.

Yeah but OTB I can draw against 2200s but I can't ever win

This is what motivates me to play chess

This dooms you as a chess player. If you somehow manage to make NM, you will just stop improving like all the NMs that think the way you do. Playing for accolades is a self-esteem issue. Play for love of the game, or find a game/hobby you actually love.

Well I wouldn't spend so much time on it if I didn't enjoy it lol

But yeah achieving NM is a big motivation. Once I get that I might quit OTB and then charge very high prices for chess coaching

Then play online and do titled Tuesdays and stuff

I have other hobbies too that I equally like. But I'm not as good at them as I am with chess so I focus on chess now

How many chess players are in the Vatican City? Seems like the competition might be low.

I imagine the Vatican city would have the biggest percentage of the population that plays chess lol

I looked it up... no titled players. But they dont have a chess federation.

Yeah I was thinking USA when I made the post but I was hoping there's even easier ones... I'd prolly be 2100 USCF if it's 100 easier than ecf lol

Is Philippines easy?

probably the united states

Come to Wales

north korea

nah US is the easiest u just hve to get 2200 uscf once and ur good to go (no norms like canada, and no maintenance like england)

What's the Welsh federation like? Easier or harder than England? I never hear much about Welsh chess

But don't they check your social media for things you've said online about USA when you get there 👀

I don't think I'd be allowed into the country lol
