Hi Richard and all, I just overlooked Jessica and her current status. Sorry about that. I would then like to challenge Jessica Grib2 to a ladder game. I look forward to the game since I have never actually played jessica.

Re: Ladder Challenge Hello Chris, Sorry, but you must challenge Jessica first. The Ladder rules currently state in item 4: "Normally, you may only challenge a player that is one or two rungs above you at the time of the challenge. If those two players are in-play, however, you may challenge the first available player above you." Since Jessica is the first player available above you, you must challenge her first.
