I look for new arrivals to play against, because so many of them just play other p1200s who make a move or two and then disappear. That must cause quite a few to lose interest and wander off. I figure at my rating level I have nothing to lose even if they turn out to be strong players.
I rarely see a p1200 offering a game in Open Invites, and it's no use my putting games up there because I can't nominate p1200 as an option.
Russ, encouraging newcomers to the site is to your benefit - could we have an option somewhere that would make games available only to p1200 players?
at schemingmind ( before i was banned for saying something complimentary in favor of bobby sands who starved himself to death in a british prison ..an ira soldier..) they have a "welcoming game" deal.
if you sign up to accept a newcomer ( a welcoming game ) and if that newcomer eventually becomes a paying member you get a free extra month on your own subscription.
it works well for all three parties .

One tiny flaw in the Reinfeld idea.
You could open a new account and play yourself then get a sub for
this new account. Do this 12 times paying for 12 new accounts and
you save yourself and rob from the site a whole years subscription.
If everyone did this then there would be no subscriptions coming in and....
...wait a minute.....
If a sub is say £30 and you pay for 12 subs, that is you spending £360
to save £30.
Reinfeld that is a stupid idea. (Rec'd)
