I agree that there are more open invites with "stipulations" to them. There has been a lot of the good old " x rating or above " and such, but there I have also been seeing a fair number of "no begginners", "pawn stars only", "x rating to x rating", "x rating max", "make x moves in x time", and so forth. There have been a few time that I found a dozen or so games in the open invites but couldn't play because I didn't fit the criteria.

On a likewise note, I would mention that the only thing I personally ask for in a game from time to time is that we play "speed chess" style. I have tried phrasing it a number of different ways, but in the end only about half of my opponents in those games move more than once every day or so. It makes me wonder if other people who have requests/stipulations for their games have any better luck than I do in getting them fullfilled.

Don't accept them and create your own without the stuff...I never had a rude or dumb opponent!

Well, I'd like a feature where I can specify the ratign I'd like to play against, stopping people outside the specified range from accepting th open invite. What's wrong with being a bit picky? If you're not a very good player like me, you'd like to play against someone who's about the same rating than yourself.
