The table implies she is now a Bulgarian National, but whilst she went to live there, I'm not sure this is correct, as she has continued to play Russian National Seniors Champs and is still a member of the Russian Chess Fed. Does anyone know any more than this? Brittle heaven 11:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Nikolay Minev moved from Bulgaria to
United States, but then I read that this was for competitive players, and Minev was past that when he moved, so I took him back out. Bubba73 (talk), 02:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
This is a really useful list in light of my recent interest in nationality and flags. Will now be able to do some cross-checking. ChessCreator (talk) 00:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
I question the value of adding players who were born in one country, and moved to another as a child. In these cases their parents moved, and it was unrelated to the person or their chess playing (in some case they didn't even play before they moved). Perhaps they should at least have a separate section? The most well known player in this category would probably be Hikaru Nakamura, but some less well known ones are Jonathan Sarfati, Puchen Wang, maybe Alfred Flatow, and probably many others. I mean, what is the point of a list of chess players whose parents moved? Peter Ballard (talk) 04:46, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
I made some changes, removed obvious errors, double entries. But what came up to my mind is the exact purpose of the article. It is often unclear with the historic players what is meant with "nationality", ethnic categories or what kind of "transfer" actually took place. --DaQuirin (talk) 16:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be renamed to "Nationality transfers in chess"? --Adûnâi (talk) 22:06, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, for players who switched back to their original federations (e.g. Caruana, Shirov), only the first move is listed, not the return. Should we add those? Cobblet (talk) 00:30, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
It would be a lot of work to add this data now, but this article would be a lot more informative if it listed the year the transfer occurred. This would also help with players who have transferred more than once. Quale (talk) 08:45, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
The Wikipedia article about him says that he was born in Kyrgyzstan and moved to Russia in 2000, but the FIDE transfer list that we cite says that in 2000, he changed federations from UZB to RUS. Is one of these wrong? Bruce leverett (talk) 14:06, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
