Tactical rating in the stats?
I often wonder whether my opponents use the Tactics feature and what their tactical ratings are, but it's hard to find a particular player in the 'Top tacticians' list. Wouldn't it be nice if the tactical rating (and possibly other data related to Tactics) was just included in the player's stats?

I agree. Let's add a player's tactical ratings in the profile.

That idea of adding the tactical stats to a players profile seem ok with me....
but keep in mind that only a small percentage of players overall even use the tactics feature.
So most players would have nothing listed on their profile and a small percentage out of the thousands of players on GK would.Something tells me that any feature that is not on the majority,but only on a smaller percentage of profiles would probably not carry much weight as to "priorities" in adding GK features,atleast for now.Some players might be weird about it and say...."why should they have something on their profile that I don't have,even though I don't play tactics!"
I am for any added features,even though I myself do not use the tactics boards,so I do agree with you guys,however.

I'm for more practical suggestions.Like having an additional existing conditional move string shown below the corresp game board.Then you could "chart"the progress of the conditional moves being chewed up or not by your opponent,without switching to the conditional move window.Or perhaps different color "box" option that encircles your corresp moves.My blue color which appears on my board color selections isn't the best color in certain color board ranges and blends in "too" well.I would prefer,perhaps a red circle with the sea foam or yellow with one of the darker brown board selections.If just those two features were done on GK,I think it would be very popular options.Someone once told me that their would be no room to place a conditional move string below the board.I disagree.I think if there is a will,there is a way!
