is the split determined by the population of each country, or the population of that country who play chess, or the population who play chess who speek English, or the population who play chess & speek English & have internet access...?
And how biased is it by people, in true internet fassion, lying about their contry of residence/origin to make themselves sound more exotic? (what is the population of Antartica anyway?)
nb. is it just me, or does everything I post at the moment sound bitter & nasty. It's not meant to..
Originally posted by nemesioNone of the above are verified.
Russ,
Antarctica? Vatican City? Can you verify those by domain name? I mean, I could put anything
and say I live there and I am not sure anyone would know given my IP, but I am not a computer
expert.
Of those numbers, how many have made a move in the past month? Can that be figured out?

And Afghanistan is the first in the list, so it will get picked often by those who choose something at random.
