Is there a player from North Korea playing on chess.com? It's illegal to play on chess.com there

It is ILLEGAL to play chess.com

LOOK

I beat some one from North Korea 3 minutes ago.

I'm a North Korean student abroad

형 이거 진짜 미쳤어

hmm

This is democratic freedom of internet...you can play from the moon if you want..

but theres no internet

What do you mean there is no Internet in North Korea? Simply do a Googlesearch. I used the Internet all the time when at high school there. You mean international socialmedia, yes that's ban (same as in China). You posters still live in the past brainwashed by Western propaganda. ❤️ from Vietnam

Too bad social media isn't banned in the west.

He may have ment no internet on the moon ,in relation to my comment -)

Yes, they're living on the moon. So ignorant!

Why do kids make stupid threads like these ?

As a North Korean living abroad, let me say...Chess.com is legal in North Korea. Access to the Internet is limited, but if we can access the Net from there, we're allowed to play chess.com. Chess.com will have knowledge of Internet Service Providers operating out of DprK.

So, chess.com should close this thread as question has already answered. Let it continue is just trolling.

I heard somewhere else that stuff like marvel movies are banned in North Korea for normal citizens. It this accurate?

It seems a little... odd to disallow movies about superheros but allow a chess website with a discussion function that can potentially talk about anything, including the said movies about superheros.

It is illegal for people that don't have an elite status in North Korea to own a phone, and worse then that, PLAY CHESS. Also, please subscribe to my youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@milessmiles15
