@Ronald: grow up. First you show somewhat crappy games and give the note: "I beat your countryman" and then when origin says something nearly negative then you show a game where he played badly. Shame on you

When he says something nearly negative about my game then I show a game where he played badly. It aims for "Looking Glass-Self". He should can be better than my opponent who has insulted.
By the way, do you come from Finland? Ok, another game:

Depends on the BIASED judges who score WINS for players who dont deserve that WIN SCORE. I played 2 Americans 2 days ago .I was ahead in game but THE AMERICANS were given the WIN score. I was so disgusted I wrote in FORUMS is this a RACIST site . America V Australia?  scoring shoiuld be FAIR not points given to "preferred country" players

And...what about when a lower ranked opponent who clearly WIN the game  only to receive a LOSS in their score because higher rankers are THE PREFFERRED players.

I must agree that russians, czech people, and ukranian people are very goodd players. But I have noticed that there are TONS of people from my country Bosnia on this site, even though they only consist of a population of like 3,5 million. They are REALLY overrepresented and love to play chess, and I must say they have some really strong players!

Ok, I come from Indonesia. I have played an opponent who cames from your country. The result is:

Now that guy played horrible :P

You played more horrible on this game, http://www.chess.com/livechess/game?id=756989033

HAHAHAHA are you retarded? That was a 1 minute BULLET game LOL! I played 10 games with him and won 8, he won 2. LOL! Have you even watched some of my standard or blitz games? LOL

Out of 10 bullet games you cannot expect me to play good at every single one of them xD One mistake and one might lose the entire game. Statistically, when taking my and my opponents rating into consideration we would play 8:2 which is exactly what happened. So statistically I played as good as I should with my rating. 

Maybe I should go to your games archive and look up your worst game? xD

It's about the same in all the countries, since even if every chess player in some country is very good and every chess player in some counrty is completley bad, yet they play each other and earn the same rating, so it's likley that up until the international level all the countries are about the same.

skakmadurinn

Iceland has the most grandmasters per capita. (14)

  1. Friðrik Ólafsson (1958)

  8. Helgi Áss Grétarsson (1994)
  9. Þröstur Þórhallsson (1996)
  10. Lenka Ptácníková stórmeistari kvenna í skák (2004)
  11. Henrik Danielsen (2006)
  12. Héðinn Steingrímsson (2007)

I think it would be accurate to compare GM, FM, and IMs that each country has.

I just talk about Live Chess-Bullet for beginners in this site (chess.com).

My vote goes to the Armenians.

If the average player of every country played each other, who would win?

Define 'average player'.

Is it some fraction of GM per capita ? Is it average FIDE rating, when most licenced players only have a local federation rating ? Is it actually "ten best players" as FIDE makes its top list ?

 

I'm pretty sure you can find a definition for each country that makes it at the top. For instance, the average player with an even FIDE rating that has been FIDE-rated for exactly three years.

ronald Aprianto you're good at pointing out games whre you've won how about your less successful games eh?

There were quite a few nice piece sacrifices you showed us there.

Check my PING index and you will know that I have poor connection. When I have severe lag, I must be too quick and make a random moves (potential to blunder) to avoid loss on time early.
