Hey Lewis Wallach! Welcome to the Blind Chess list! Your suggestion may be useable, but it would be very difficult to maintain. The order of the list would be constantly changing and I don't know of a sort order that you describe, so it would would have to be maintained manually, what a Knightmare!

I've nerver done this before so forgive me if it's really foolish. What if the best rated player is placed smack in the middle of the list. Then the next best rated goes above that position and the third best rated goes below that middle position. You then keep alternating the next lower rated player in line in the next position on each side of the middle. Can this possibly work?
