Who has the most passports

think about it. see how much games hes played? hes been playing here for about 5 years, and if you played that much games you’d play at least one person from all of the country’s 

It's actually 241 now. I put together a blog post outlining how I got them here: https://www.chess.com/blog/LeeEuler/project-237-playing-people-from-all-around-the-world

In a similar vein I am trying to get all the awards and am pretty close there as well.

SKKMARTON I will trade you a Boliva for Aland Island

It's far more impressive to have 200+ passports if you just randomly choose opponents. I would surmise you would never actually complete every passport if you didn't do the daily challenge thing. Many countries have less than 10 players, and some have 0-2 active players in the whole world. 

You can get all of them easily. All you need is a friend who is willing to play you a bunch of times, changing the flag every game. It'll take just a few minutes if you just start a game and then one of you resigns--they don't even have to be rated.

My 'best ones' are North Korea and Vatican City

my best one is South Georgia

{Two times}

I have North Korea and so do a lot of people. Fun fact: there are so few people with internet access in North Korea, that it rounds to 0%. Apparently, though, Kim Jong-un is a huge chess fan, is dilligently working on getting to the elite league, so that's how we all have the flag.

48 (including the Canary Islands)

now i have Palau

I do not have Palau, one think I would have like to see is a Date for each passport (I.e. you played someone from Palau 2-4-2020)

My best is Aruba Really rare one

no aruba is not rare

southgeorgia is super rare

I think, both Aruba and South Georgia are rare. Some of these passports are small islands with only a few thousand people living there. How many of them will play chess here?

South Georgia has a population of like 50 people lol. 

no southgeorgia has only 25
