Playing against a national pool is a great idea. That alleviates my concerns about jealousy.

I play chess online, using a mode where the site will automatically match me up with another player of similar strength. It's a lot of fun, because almost all of my games are competitive. It seems like it should be easy for you to have some sort of rating system for matching up players, and ratings are also a great way to track your own personal progress. What are your plans along these lines?

We actually keep track of everything behind each question you answer. Topics, time, etc. Every game actually adapts to both players' weaknesses. We can actually sway games through this.
