The "choose a country" feature would help with passport completion too.

That just removes all the fun and challenge from passport completion.

my internet connection gets attacked when I play foreigners a little more often than Americans. Chess.com employs trolls

Your opponents can't impact your connection. The clients never directly connect so they can't get your connection information to do it if they wanted to.

Any update on this? Looking for a "choose a country" feature when setting up a game!

Sounds awesome, but it would be a cheat code for passports.

Anyone agrees.

If people miscalculated timezones and most of that country was asleep it'd take ages to get a match

In live chess, I don't think so. I know you can on Daily matches.

Is there a way of choosing the country of origin of your opponent in live chess? Its not prejudice, I just think it would be fun to be able to randomly choose who I want to play from different continents and countries.

You just covertly said "I don't wanna play ppl from X country" . Don't deny that or obfuscate the point.

Bro randomly accusing decade old threads of racism is (1) not remotely productive (2) kinda rude (3) even if you're right this thread is a decade old it may not reflect the views of the poster who may or may not be alive (4) also you're kinda putting words in his mouth and (5) honestly i hate playing americans, i would block if i could frfr

No but it's not really supposed to be easy, is it? What would be the point of the achievement then?

The member search allows you to search for members of any specific country. You can then read profiles and determine who best matches you. The site even sorts results for “best match” which appears to be matching your rating for your most recent type of game. I used this to fill out my passport. But, remember everyone you challenge to a game can decline which happens frequently. Flag hunting is fun. You learn about many countries you might not otherwise read about.
