I am curious to know how people approach open invites vs making one of their own. My general approach is that if my rating is higher than the current open invites, I make one of my own and let others decide if they want a game.
I just feel a little funny about accepting the invite created by a player whose rating is currently lower than mine- sort of an informal rule of chess etiquette for me.
And I do make an exception if I see an open invite created by a lower-rated player that has sat for some time without anyone accepting it- I may accept, and send them a message with the first move that I did it because the invite was sitting there for a while, and that they can delete it if they wish due to the rating disparity, and no hard feelings.
Any thoughts?
