after looking over the player table, it appears the top 20 (with the
exception of several players) aren't playing many games against each
other. why is this? am i interpreting the table incorrectly or are these
players not interested in playing others with an equal rating to them?

i'll admit that i probably don't play a high proportion of my games
against these players but i'm still losing to others with ratings of
1200 πŸ™‚

i'd be interested in seeing an opponent matrix for every player when i
click on their username instead of only their win / loss numbers. if
their games are rated as public, i can't see why anyone would mind.

Why??
The answer is (for me) quite simple. Because we get challenged a lot
With my limited amount of time, I'm currently playing around 19
games (here and several others on other servers). 5 against other top
20 players, some open invites and the rest are..... challenged games.

This is true. You can imagine a lot of people try and have a pop at
someone with a high rating. Every time I come below my limit of
games I get a newbie telling me they're going to thrash me. The
other thing, personally, is I think I'm over-ratedπŸ˜‰

I think tourament style play on this site (Rival 2001?) will be very
interesting. Considering the lack of inter-top20 play, i imagine there
will be many new battles being fought.

I think tournament style play should be instituted within the top 20
anyway. In my opinion a person's game can deminish by not
maintaining a certain level of play. Not that there are'nt excellent
players below the top 20 level. But like any compitition,a contender
earns the right to fight the champ.

How i do it is i put 3 games in the waiting room at a time who ever
gets it gets it i don't care if satan gets it i'll still play them. i don't care
if the rating is 2 i'll play them. I love chess and I'll play anyone.
alot of times i'll challenge another player but the system tells me they
have the challenges in the settings still set to 10. for example try to
challenge oongaano he's got his e-mail turned off and and his
challenges still set at 10. i can understand the email cause if you have
it on e-mail will fill your inbox from redhot pawn. i got tired of cleaning
all that mail out. so i turned it off. but you can't challenge someone if
they're over their limit..........
