Chess Ladder

I remember long time ago there was some talk about this, but nothing's happened.

Any ideas how to get something like this going?

I thought maybe build the mechanics of it into a group, and get a few willing and competent admins to keep people from killing each other.....

what do you mean by ladder?

like leaderboards or something?

rooperi

Yeah, lots of real life clubs run them.

Normally you can challenge players 2 or 3 places above you, if you win, you swop places. See how hgh you can get, and who's top dog:)

yeah, that sounds pretty cool

What time limit for the games?  If you guys (rooperi and Fear_Itself) will settle for 24 hours online games we have a ladder now and can run it in this thread (for now or permanently).
