This is what I want about ladders:
(1) That an extencive FAQ will be created about the matter so the Forms will not be overcrowded with questions, same ones again and again.
(2) A particular Forum for ladder matters will be created so there is a logical place where ladder maters can be discussed. When the interest start to diminish, then merge it with "Only Chess" Forum or some other place.

No link published anywhere, but it is now possible to sign up for a ladder.

Enjoy a top ladder spot* just by signing up early 🙂
* Until everyone is placed properly, anyway.

Come on people, give the man some input.
I do like the idea of the indicators showing movements in the table. Was that to be weekly?

Originally posted by trev33I agree. Draw is no change. Specially if you want only 1 game and the challenger plays white. Skilled players may find playing with white an advantage and might be able to 'force' draws with it.
