If you can challenge any titled player (living or dead) in a chess match, who would it be?

North America is considered North American.

@chesssblackbelt, how did we go from titled players to discussing different parts of the world?

Armatise

lol

... If you live in Asia, so you're not entirely wrong.

It looks like you guys have never heard of Central America. There are a lot of countries there.

But a lot of people refer to the United States as America. So why are you confused.

There is even a song called America that refers to the United States.

Also if you combine the population of North and South America then it equals the population of Europe so it makes sense to count it together

Did you add Central America to that?

Yes I included the 2 people living in Central America

Using your way of thinking maybe you should add Africa to Europe, to be fair.

To be honest, is this even chess?

You probably don't even realize there are 6 continents.

Armatise

To think about it, we went from titled players to geography now.

I think America in general is not a good term to use. The United States is a country in the continent of North America. Central America is also technically regarded to be in North America. South America is a different continent, though some consider them both one continent, America.

@thee_black_knight, there are seven if you include Antartica

Armatise

I agree with @ChimpCh.

ChimpCh

Armatise, I think he is saying that North and South America are one continent

thee_black_knight

The arctic is not a continent it is a block of ice.

Armatise

Yes, @chessblackbelt has that idea stuck in his head.

thee_black_knight

Yes the antarctic Is the 6th continent.

Armatise

@thee_black_knight, in terms of geography, it is still a continent, despite it being a "block of ice."

@thee_black_night, Antarctica is considered a continent. Though it is essentially primarily ice, most of it is quite seasonal, with the coast growing and shrinking
