Hi there, I for one am fed up of getting absolutely destroyed by people from third world countries who have nothing else to do but practice chess all day. I would like to only play people from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia etc.
Is it possible that we can search opponents by nationality? Or, alternatively, can we have a feature to not play opponents from India, Indonesia, Malaysia etc?
What says you are getting beat by "third world country" players?
First off, India is not a third world country!
Second off, users here can set their flag. What stops me, a person from the United States, from putting up a "Third World Country" flag, like Chad (a country in notrh-central Africa if memory serves me right), for example? You think you are playing someone from Chad when really you are playing someone from the United States. Only way you can figure that out is by IP address. Admins probably have a way of getting my IP address when I log on, but I highly doubt you do!
I would like to be able to play people from countries in which I have cultural interest. I like it that chess.com brings people from all over the world together, and we can talk to each other whereas in real life we would probably never meet. I have made new friends in parts of the world I have never visited, and cannot afford to travel to see. It's a fun aspect of chess.com I really like.
