I don't have a game handy to post (and I don't know how to make diagrams on this site anyway) but I had an idea for a type of thread.

How about someone posting a board position and everyone try to guess the rank of the players? It might be a good instructional tool for players of all ranks. After a few days the original poster can reveal the ranks of the players and everyone can compare their estimates.

Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Diagrams work the same as Sensei's Library and godiscussions.com.

But I'll start the ball rolling:

I have posted this diagram elsewhere, so if you've seen it in that location, please don't spoil it for others. And if you haven't seen it, but have a guess where it's at, please don't cheat.
