Titled players

I don't entirely agree with this concept, because as a moderator I think titled players should be left alone and not hunted like some kind of rare or endangered animals. At the same time as a hobbyist, I understand the desire of chess enthusiasts to watch chess masters play. Ultimately, I think it would be good to have some kind of list, so here are a few I think you missed:

http://en.lichess.org/@/xlazv02 - never played, though.

There are certainly more, I'll search my archives again later ;)
usually when someone goes out of their way to make a list of people that fall into a certain category, bad things happen. WWII, for instance.

that being said, Mikhail04 I hope you are not a harbinger of doom.
In response to #3 I think many titled players especially IMs and GMs welcome some publicity and profile because sometimes it might help them get coaching opportunities.

Not sure about how many of the lesser titled players are doing full time coaching though. Perhaps an indicator somewhere for titled players if they do coaching would be good.

Or you could coach people to get the best internet service provider. I hear that does wonders for your bullet rating.
I think you missed IM Squarology !
#7 - LeMusique I think fibre broadband must help! As well as a low ping time to the server.

If you go to speedtest.net what are your upload and download speeds?!
if you are recommending fibre broadband you must be an affiliate right

upload speed: 0.14 mbps
download speed: 0.82 mbps

'murikan
