I've been on the look-out for a game that we could elevate into a game that we at LBGC play fairly often and can have a league and ratings on. It would be an...

Although i'm not in favour of league tables for the sake of it, i think one for Perikles sounds good. I'm not sure you need to give a bonus to a new player...
