This idea would greatly improve my experience with this app.  Long ago I
 learned playing novices and beginners is very often not worth it.  They
 make ridiculous moves and quit at the drop of a hat only to be replaced
 with the boring in game AI.  I've wasted so much time kicking novices 
and beginners out of games I host.  It would save everyone's time 
(including the novices and beginners) and improve everyone's experience 
if we could filter games by player class.
I think a game host 
should be able to adjust rank limits for the game just like they can 
adjust the turn length.  If the filter were such that we couldn't filter
 out players one class above or below our own class.  There would be 
mixing between the different classes, but players could avoid huge 
mismatches in skill/experience.  And at least for the higher ranking 
players, this could reduce exposure to the two device cheaters.  Usually
 they have a high raking account and a low ranking account.  Being able 
to filter out beginners and novices would immediately cut out most of my
 exposure to this type of cheater.
I think everyone would be 
happier if they could chose to compete only with those of a similar 
skill level.  This idea needs to be implemented.
