A great player is a great player and they're still going to destroy you either in boxshu, lenshu or whatever mod you play. The skill curve/ceiling comes from adapting to your opponent which is something only very good players can do (I've experienced it)... And that usually happens with guys 8th dan and above.

I think that ORMO is a thing already. The whole Replays board actually!! You can create an organised thread there, I'd be very convenient.
