Just a suggestion, but wouldnt it be an idea to add some trophies? I have a few categories in mind:

- More trophies for players who lost. Currently, there's not much one can give to a losing player except 'Good game' and 'Good sportsmanship', even though the losing player might have shown exceptional chess worthy of mention - but short of actually forcing a win. Some might be dual purpose given the title, but then the text again suggest that it was given by the losing player to the winner. I'd like to show appreciation for good games that I nevertheless won. Suggestions would be 'Hard fought game', 'Improvement', 'Narrow escape', etcetera.

- Trophies for drawn games. See above, themes like 'Master of the draw', 'Forced stalemate', 'Prince of Perpetual check'...

- Extra trophies premium members can give. (idea is both a perk for the premium members as a way to keep the number a bit in check) For good chess, but also for valuable contributions to the site (such as news, articles), hosting tournaments, etcetera. The current 'social' trophies are a bit meagre.

In all, not terribly important, but a nice addition IMO.

yep. good ideas!

Customized trophies that allows one to fetch a picture from the internet or your own PC base bank of pictures and insert and a few words

.

i like this idea and it sounds relatively easy to implement - we could upload them the same way we would do with custom trophies for tournaments.
