Subject: Top players' games

I would like to be able to find games between top players here (mostly in Chess variants), to replay them and maybe learn something from the moves made.
At the moment, players' finished games give little indication of playing strength. Could a rank or rating column be added? Or is there another way to find what I'm looking for?

Well, here is one way. (Maybe someone has a quicker/easier way

)

There is a URL you can use to see the game history between any 2 people.

http://brainking.com/en/Profile?u=XXXX&op=XXXX&p=1 (change the X's to their user numbers)

You can find someone's user number by going to their profile. (ID #)

One way to find the top chess players, would be to choose "Ratings" in the left hand menu, and then click on "Chess"

Choose the people you are interested in, get their ID#'s and insert them in the URL above.

Of course, you may have to click on the different years to find some games. On that screen you will see a list of all game types they have played together. When you click on the game type. You will see the games they played this year. If they haven't, you will have to click on the other years. Unfortunately, the "Last 10 Finished Games" isn't working still.

LOL.. Maybe there's an easier way though.
