Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but it would be nice to have the option of setting rating limits on your Open Invites.

Why? You can always delete challnges, and you could just title your game "No challenges under 1400" or something like that.

PS Are you trying to weed out low or high ratings?

I agree - hellava useful to restrict open invites by rating range!
Most other chess website have this basic feature too.

PS: Today I posted a open invite, saying "1500 and above ratings only" and it was accepted by a 1200 newbie, blah blah fishpaste.....

As mentioned by another poster, people don't always pay attention to what you title the game. And deleting the challenge and having to repost it is a pain.

I generally like to play opponents within 200 points of my rating, to keep it interesting. Its no fun mopping the floor with a 800 player, or getting steamrolled by a 2100 player.

This feature is implemented on many other servers.

On the list.

Expect within the week. (Including the filters on the 'find player' page)
