Hi! Yes, the flag changed after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The change was officially made on December 8, 2024. It represents a new chapter for Syria, reflecting the aspirations and identity of the people. 😊

As a former chess employee, I did reach out to the CEO of chess.com Erik Allebest regarding this request. He saw this and said he will try to have this done as soon as possible. Hopefully, it will be changed in the upcoming months.

Dear TariqStarX,
Thank you so much for your prompt response and for taking the time to reach out to the CEO regarding my request. I truly appreciate your efforts and the attention given to this matter.
It’s reassuring to know that this issue is being considered, and I hope the change can be implemented soon. Your support means a lot, and I am grateful for your assistance.
Best regards,

Dear Chess.com Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to kindly request that you update the Syrian flag currently displayed on the profiles of Syrian users to reflect the new flag of Syria. The new flag has been officially adopted, and it is the flag currently recognized by international institutions and included in official representations. In fact, Wikipedia has updated its entries to reflect this change.
As a prominent platform for chess players from around the world, I believe it would be a positive step for Chess.com to align with this international recognition and display the new flag, which accurately represents the Syrian people and their national identity today.
I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request, and I look forward to your response.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Best regards,
TariQ_AF
