Yup. Another instance of anti-Indian racism. Y'all see what I'm talking about now?
Why do Indians cheat so much?

A lot of trolls also use that flag, so that would make it seem worse than it actually is. India is where chess originated (the game of Chaturanga) and Anand winning the World Championship several times have made chess extremely popular in India. This and India’s massive population makes it mathematically more likely for more people playing chess.
There’s no filter for choosing not to play against flags of certain countries because anyone can change to any flag at any time.

As mentioned, there is no way to filter an opponent by which flag they choose.

I really wish there were a way to filter who you want or don't want to play with. It's not a "race" thing, before that card gets thrown automattically by some fragile types. This is a matter of not wanting to waste time on what shold be an enjoyable game...with someone who has a higher likelihood of cheating. It's about the stats.
