Is there a player from North Korea...

Playing on chess.com?...

In North Korea, it's illegal to play...

On chess.com.

Yes, there is...

I have a proof.

I know of one who says he's in North Korea, but I sort of doubt it. He's a bit of a jokester, and a lot of fun. In the interest of privacy I won't reveal who it is. I want to play him just for the flag.

I've North Korea's passport so there must be a player from that country.

Players can also use other country flags so that maybe a case also,

It could also be North Koreans in exile or seeking refuge abroad whom have an affinity to their place of birth or their parents place of birth.

lol, why do people always say Korea when refering to South Korea?? There's 2 Koreas!! People refer to North Korea as "North Korea" (I actually like to just say DPRK) so why not refer to South Korea as South Korea???

Fortunately, I don't write it in that way.

OK. This has been exhausted. Move on to something else.

That person is not a North Korean, obviously. Just some guy who uses the NK flag for some reason, probably just as a joke. There are hundreds of them.
