Please don't misinterperet this as racism when I make some points.

I'm trying to "100%" chess.com, and there's a passport thing which stores all the countries of people you have played against. There are a few which are pretty hard to get, such as China, as they have their own regional version of chess, and I'm not sure whether chess.com can be accessed from there.

Additionally, quite a few (oh, just a few. Not pretty much all of them when they lose an important piece. Totally.) of the Indians I play against cheat, and it's pretty annoying.

I donnnt wanna playy with indiannns annnymoreeeeeee <- well actually, it's fine because I've noticed patterns in the chess analyser or whatever they use, so I can deal with it

So if there is a developer seeing this, please could you add a country selection option in the custom game option? I happen to be a web developer myself so if you can't be bothered, I can do it for you given the code.

Sorry, but saying that pretty much all Indians cheat when they lose a piece is quite racist.

When someone starts a forum post like this: "Please don't misinterperet this as [insert anything here]", or "I'm not trying to be [insert anything here]", then I know that he will be [insert anything here]. So yeah.

So far this month , you have won 19, lost 24 and drawn 2 against players with the Indian flag. Try a little harder and you might get to 50%.

There are less than 2 million Chinese members at Chess.com, according to a recent article

Your 'points' do seem to be racist. I hardly look up for my opponents flag while playing and it shouldn't even matter. You could just report the person you suspect that are cheating.

This app is the worst i've used in a while! So buggy and laggy, and support never replies to ur concerns, it is just a business of selling useless subscriptions. Fully disappointed

About china: that would ruin the point of passports. You have to get really lucky for some of them.

About India: I’m not misinterpreting, that is indeed racism.
