I know that rankings really aren't meant to be taken that seriously, that they only give an approximation of your skills, and that you should play to learn and get better not to increase ranking.

 

Still, it would be cool if it was possible to see a ordered list of the people on your friends list (including yourself), so that you could see how you are doing compared to them.

 

(Come on, I know you're all doing it)

Nice idea i like it you have my vote.

 

I'm going to have to agree with you on the comparing ratings

Yes, me too.

a little bit of friendly competition would probably enhance everybodies play plus cheap one upmanship is good for everybody lol.

good idea

Quixotical,   Why must people always boast about themselves and their playing strength?   Instead,  isn't it better for others to acknowledge us?  This is an Eastern philosophy :  "Don't blow our own trumpet. Let others do it for us!"

I was boasting?

 I thought I was making the point that playing strength should be insignificant to ones place in our community.

 I am a medium strength amateur and always will be.

 I don't think it sounded like boasting either - loved the quote though

I like the idea of being able to go to a page wherein you view your friends, all listed, and then sort it by a number of things as we can do with all players - most recently online, rating, games played, etc.

It's a good idea.

That is a great idea.!!
But why not just, make it a blank list, and then you can put you own players on it?
In that way you can also track, a close opponent that you like to follow, and you don’t have to track a friend you don’t want to!!
