I have been looking for a game with a 1600+ player for the past week. I have created an open invite with a very clear title. Like "1600+ ONLY! GAME WILL BE DELETED IF BELOW 1600!" and all manners of other titles. Not one player met the requirments. I have thus been forced to delete over 25 games. It seems people here can't fing read and I'm becoming really exasperated.

Does this site have a way to ENFORCE a rating restriction so it just won't allow people that don't meet my requirements? It would certainly save time. For example, is there a setting somewhere where I could limit my invites only to those 1600 and above? This is driving me crazy. I hope this site has this very elementary feature.

the feature is there 🙂

click advanced options for it when making a new game 😉
PS. if you can't do this it may be because you still are a provisonary player but that should be over soon ;-)

This will be available once you lose your provisional rating.

No. Exy would know the issue with open invites and provisionals. Plus Exy already has a public second account; Steve Exeter.

I discovered the key here to consistently getting good games is to register so you can join a clan.

I was about to say the very same thing, but you beat me to it. I play lots of decent games against players above 1600, and nearly all are clan games.

I just got a 1800+ game with 1300 minimum rating open invite. without rating-limit the challenges will probably be flooded with 1200p challengers before anyone else has time to click it. the 1600+ make only 959/10156 = 9.4% of the player pool here.

Yeah, I can't do that. So i have to be a "real rated player" before I get picky?

Thanks for the help.

On my 36th attempt, I've got a game going with an 1824. 😉 Unfortunately, his rating might be inflated since his opponent's were always less than 1300. Maybe I have a shot. 😉

Don't comment on a game in progress. But, you should know that the Sicilian is nothing to fear. Just play the Rossolimo--Sicilian players hate that.

I love playing against the Sicilian, but I rarely play 1.e4 because I'm afraid of the French. 😉

Does anyone have the original recipe for Banana Cake?
