Who has the most passports

Does anyone know if the screen name, of your opponent, is flying a false flag (you can put any flag you want on your screen name), does chess.com know? In other words are the passport numbers we have posted real? Does the site verify what country the player is really in when awarding a passport?

It would be cool to see how many people get all the countries. I have 85/241

There are 406 members of the "global citizens club" open to people with all 241 flags

I don't know, but if you have ancestors from a specific country, for example, Poland, it's not wrong to use the Polish flag. And what if it is  a country you support, for example, if you want to show support for Ukraine, is it wrong to use the Ukrainian flag? Also, I think it is intentional they let anyone choose their flag, for support, for ancestry, and also because it is impossible. If you wanted to play chess with someoe from an isolated country like North Korea, it is impossible due to everything that goes on there. There are 241 locations listed on chess.com of which you can get passport achievements for. I think it's fine, but chess.com probably knows which country everyone's in, which is seperate from the passport achievements.

I have no objection to anyone flying whatever flag they want next to their screen name. I just want to know if the passports we are credited with from different countries are actually from those countries? It looks like probably not.

There are a few members that change their flag every day they're online.

Thanks, from what I've figured out Passports don't really mean anything they are awarded based on the flag next to the screen name of your opponent. So unfortunately they're not representative of having played people from all over the world.

Is there anyone who has all of them?

I don't know, but I have 186.

I have 167

Now I have 187.
