So, some 16 million tulip munchers can only manage four 'first pagers' whilst a bunch of ok Kiwi's hold down three spots from a meqagre base of barely 4 million. Hah and hah.

Just thinking. Does anybody have any idea as to a country representation percentage. Thought it might be interesting to find out what country has the most players, if someone has any ideas on how to do this, it would be handy. Especially as we dont have a polling thingy.

Don't forget the Spanish

1. e4 – e5
2.Nf3 – Nc6
3.Bb5

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition

Also, as well as United Kingdom, we have the option to select England, Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland which should roll up into the UK figures.

Chris, I had inquired if there was any way to search for opponents in ones own area, such as state. This would be great if this feature could be added. It could lead to sub communities, etc. etc.

Oh yeah!
If only our rugby team could be rated in the top 5 again, I could die happy 😉

Hey Russ, how about a SA flag in the flaming pawn, seeing as SA has more members here than a few of those countries with flags there now?

Why not place a blank entry as the first, default entry in the dropdown listbox?

Have you considered an option for other languages on the site?

The English speakers definitely predominate.

Not that I could help much!
