This is the first time I recall looking at the dashboard and seeing every continent active (\*sans Antarctica).

We don’t sell direct to South America or India.. but people find ways

Just curious, what do the different colored dots mean (green, blue, purple)?

I think it might be playing a bot vs [chess.com](http://chess.com) or who is playing currently, just an idea thought. I do not know for sure.

Yes - it is the type of game mode they are currently in. Some boards are also on and idle (i.e. just finished a game, setting up a game, forgot to turn board off).
