Foreign countries played

Other than counting yourself your games, is there in chess.com a way of knowing how many foreign country games have you played?

You mean how many different nationalities you have played against? That  would be interesting, if you could show number of games against each flag.

maybe u could suggest this to the staffs

To Ivandh

Yes. That is what I meant: -- "nationalities"--. It is possible and you can count "countries" played-

It is done in ChessWorld, a club based in England.

Of course, you have to select a country (nationality, flag) as a base so that you can call the other party "foreign".

In this case of Chess.com the base country would be USA-

Post data

ChessWorld makes it an important issue how many "flags! have you played and gives you a special tag (or whatever you call it) for that.

There are players that would like, or do like, to play with far away people.

good idea would be fun, maybe you can suggest it to the staff.

It is just a fun thing to do. I do not understand your negativity at all. So some ppl like to collect flags, shouldn't bother you.

viche83

You see the contradiction, your interest does not necessarily mirrors the one of your fellow chessplayers.

As I mentioned for some players that is a fun thing to do. Some ppl would like to travel to each country this world has to offer, some ppl like to play chess. I like to play chess, but I don't take it very serious, and having the flags from ppl I played against would just simply be a nice gimmick I would like to see.

You can take your irony and torture your wife with it. I personally don't enjoy it.

Ah, you are an annoying person, leave me alone.

I think it would be interesting to see how many games you play with people from your own country vs. how many are with foreigners.

Well back in the days I would "hit" back that he had the opportunity to wake up in a hospital a day later. Sealed Probably the irony would be gone by then.

Which was of course irony extraordinaire from my part.

@Franken_Berry

It is always fun to see ppl try to make a troll because they think they are somewhat superior (mostly they think it is intelligence wise), believe me in me you met the wrong one. To get under my skin it needs more than someone as ridiculous as you.

 

This is especially for you:

Ein Fräulein stand am Meere und seufzte lang und bang

es rührte sie so sehre, der Sonnenuntergang

Mein Fräulein sein sie munter, dies ist ein altes Stück,

dort vorne geht sie unter und kehrt von hinten wieder zurück.

 

You are the "Fräulein" btw

ChessisGood

That sounds like an excellent feature, especially if it had winning % against each!

Hint: take a little shortcut and save yourself a lot of angst, google "flags of the world" and assign arbitrarily a game you played to each of the colorful pixellated beauties. Hey presto!  

You should be nicer to me: coming from a small under-represented country like Malta, I am probably quite "valuable" to you.

You guys are ruled by the Knights of Malta.
