Its my family's business and we're up against some real heavy hitters, whatever they can use to sway they'll use to sway. Im on the spectrum too which makes worrying about something a lot more intense.

I'm curious what this family business is that makes you so paranoid about playing with people from a particular country.

Tell us your name, ur parents name (ur gaurdians cuz u seem adopted), ur siblings name (if u have any), ur Address, your body count, how old u are (probably not more than 9), your gmail with password and ur fetish. Maybe then he will share his personal bussiness with u.

The company I work for publicly is engaged in boycott of a couple of countries. I dont want to be found with a chess record of playing these companies incase it can be seen as breaking the embargo in any upcoming cases. Can i apply a filter to searches to avoid being matched with particular nationalities to avoid being punished for aborting said matches? I wouldnt ask if it wasnt extremely sensitive and puts both my job and my chess passion at risk.
thank you

Lol FYI information unless you have the IP address of the player it doesn't mean anything. Anyone can chose any flag he wants....so.....

to be fair, the filter for nationality is not a possibility, but what about a proximity pairing system. You can either go internation or select a distance of many slabs that u want to play against. so if ur hated nationality is india and ur in america, you can set like a decent amount of longitudes/ latitudes accordingly.

To me, that doesnt seem like a bad idea. Let's be real here, chess rules are not gonna change, it will always be pony moves L shape, and bishop go diagonal (so that they cant reach adjacent children) and king is a lazy beanbag that can only roll over one square. So why not upgrade the website rather than bringing out whatever the f atomic chess is, that is a diabolical game mode btw. More features in the website and better user experience can make everything soo much easier.

ur just a mod, not requesting u to do any of this (cuz i know u cant), but i think this feautre can overcome that "general philosophy" of chess.com that decided to make russian flag gray. (because u think the 13 year old prodigies in russia participate in the army??? idk).

That type of information isn't really available. IP could be a possibile proxy for location but that's no guarantee and anything that limits the pool of potential opponents (outside of individual blocking, poor sportsmanship pools, high vs low lag, or rating limits) is unlikely to be implemented.

Those limits would make matchmaking code much more complicated and could result in very long waits for many members, even those without restrictions.

The general philosophy is that Chess is for everyone and playing the game doesn't really have boundaries.

I just wanted to know the type of activity. Nothing else. I am an electrical engineer from Argentina and I work as a freelancer. And I have no problems playing chess with people from any country. I can understand that someone doesn't want to play with this or that person, but I don't understand boycotting players from an entire country.

So, you wouldn't play a member of your own family if they just joined? How do you know I am not your brother?
