How about beside everyone's rating, you have an icon of a chess piece whose strength corresponds to the rating?
Here's how it would correspond:
pawn: <1200
knight: 1200 to 1499
bishop: 1500 to 1799
rook: 1800-2099
queen: 2100-2400
king: >2400
To further that idea, how about having groups play against other groups with their army consisting of all the pieces that appears beside every team member's username?
What do you think?

What rating would you use? We all have 5 of them.
The online chess one, probably.

It would not be fair when someone with 1200 gets the same symbol with that of 1499.And why should a knight represent less ratings in comparison to bishop?
IM pfren
Measuring the skill of the people moving the pieces is enough for competitive players, and rather indifferent for amateurs. No need for more grades.
One has to come first.
Perhaps so. I just thought it'd be fun.
