I have been defeated by a player. Before checkmate he texted me “Loser. Poor Vietnamese. Living on Slums. Country full of…” OMG. Are we in 2024? Just a chess game and people can insult others this way. How it is gonna be in reality… that’s sad for his thought!

I did report the account. Hope it is just mininal.

There's people like that everywhere. I was playing this game where they were saying my gameplay was bad and stuff, but jeez, nowhere as mean as what you experienced.

I js blocked them so I never have to verse them again.

Unfortunately blocking does absolutely nothing. Even reaching out to chess.com staff achieves nothing. Reporting doesn't appear effective either. Its the biggest flaw with chess.com and they don't appear to even care.

Sorry to hear you had that experience. I always fancied visiting Vietnam, mainly due to the people!

Your people killed lots of French and Americans not so long ago. Some people haven't forgotten.

That said turn off chat, and your problems are solved.

Why are you holding grudges from decades ago? 
It's 2024. Time to let go and stop judging entire nations based on the past. Just move on.

Reporting was sufficient.
