I discovered the cool Passport page with stamps representing flags from each country I've had an opponent. I'd like to fill in the blanks, so how about on the Open Challenges view, a highlight around those national IDs not yet on my Passport?

It's in the Awards panel.

The 120th stamp was added to my passport, but the only way I could think to determ7ne the new stamp was to browse my games archive for an unusual flag icon.

I suppose i could keep a list, though it would be nice if the server just told me when a new stamp is added, like when any award or badge is given.

And while I'm on the subject, wouldn't it be cool for opponents' countries to be a search item? I played someone from Vatican City? Really? I had no idea, when was that?

Now you have played players from 122 countries. Great! You are closing in on me..... 208 in my case. When I look at other peoples flags/passport-collection do I find that a couple of countris is extra hard to find players from..... for instance.... you and I have played against players from the same countries to a certain extent....

hmm, IDK, it's tough to get all. Try scrolling through each "Official Chess.com" club for each country, but  for the smaller countries that don't have one, you might need to manually search for a player and challenge them.

Sounds good, Thanks

another way of increasing the chances of adding new passports is to play 1 min bullet matches continuously. u get to play many matches during say 2 hours and surely u will get some new countries once in a while.

the best way is to go here and add friends from countries you haven't played yet https://www.chess.com/members my passport just hit 202 and i get 2-3 new ones every day - also for quick fills almost every robot is from a different country

Yeah... I didn't know about this either. I played someone from Sri Lanka. I don't remember that at all!

Some tips for others to get all passports:

- Initially you can try bots, this will give you some passports easily.

- Do some short time tournaments, where you can play against many people in a short time

- Do open challenges, where you can pick the opponent yourself... by hovering over the dots you can see the flags (this will also learn you the flags of the world while playing chess)

- For the last ones, you can go to the Connect/Members menu option and get a list of people from a certain country, try a challenge, or friend them. Of course in all cases, be respectful.

Enjoy gathering passports (I still have one passport to go).

I have now all passports, but didn't join a club specifically for that purpose. You can search by country (but if you send a message to someone, or challenge a person you don't know, always be friendly (also for people you know btw).
