Je joue ici quasiment tous les jours, mais grâce à votre initiative il y aura plus de monde je l'espère et en tous les cas, je ne sais pas si c'est lié mais j'ai pu jouer deux parties intéressantes avec un ancien joueur plus vu depuis de trop nombreuses années.

The ELO ranking on BGA is completely distorted. Most truly good players have lower ELOs than those at the top of the ELO ranking scale.
