How is this player able to play chess in North Korea??


I fought him and he seemed to be good,he even sacrfised one of his peices which bots wont normally do,right?

Chess platforms in North Korea can be accessed by players via government-approved internet connections, offline chess software, or virtual private networks (VPNs). Remote play is permitted in certain international competitions under supervision. They could also use state-run networks or local chess clubs. Direct access is rare without special permissions or technical workarounds due to North Korea's restricted internet.
What is this, ChatGPT?

It's obviously just some guy who is not North Korean at all, but thinks it's funny to fly the NK flag. There are more than 10 000 of them.

but i dont understand?why are they doing this?to mock the flag? or for fun?i think chess.com should put our real country if they are going to to this flag thing.not change it

I am Indian but was born in Singapore so which flag should I choose- India or Singapore? Guess it in the comments.

Tell this even for my brother's accounts @SGP_Chess (His second account) and @StudyMaster156 (He closed his account).

ok but the thing is?should chess.com put our real countries permanently?// same as we get shifted in a different country, like i did.... so yk already ig

i agree.changing countries would only confuse us sometimes but it sometimes is like an act of mock or even disrespect to their country since he/her is not supporting that

Then again, there are some privacy issues and keeping anonymous about your country is really not very offensive, but if you want to keep privacy to yourself using "international" is better. And also just because people use a certain country for their profile does not mean they are mocking that country nor are they disrespecting em.
