I just went on to the open invites thingy (I haven't been to the open invites for a looonnngg time now) I noticed that you have to challenge a player if they have rating limits, which I think is a great idea since it'll reduce the amount of games where a player will accept the game and delete right afterwards😠

I've been guilty of this myself, because:
if I go to the profile and find the person is an acceptable opponent, by the time I come back to "open invites" the game has been taken by somebody else; but if I accept first and then go check the profile I find the person is an "every few days" or "once a day". Of course I'm going to delete the game. I'm want to play chess, not collect lists of game names. Currently I have 1 active player in a list of 37, and that's a move-a-day clan game.
What I'd like to see is some way of indicating a player's preference to fast or slow games on the Open Invites screen, to avoid the necessity of repeated deleting of games.
