IMHO current scores don't reflect intellectual disposition too much. Even if things have become better since ELO, score still depends too much onto your 'social rank' and established relationships. I'm not talking about PGA, but the small choices to attack one over the other, that sum up over time, have a severe impact onto your overall score. I think the majority of hard core players is totally fine with this. Not only because it secures their position, but because they come here _especially_ for the social aspect.

However, I would really like to compete in a league of pure brain vs. brain without the sleaze. Player accounts would only be shown before and after the game, colors chosen randomly, and chat disabled until the game is over.
