it's an idea that has long been sitting on the back burner.   we do have
the limits/seeking code already.  I imaging we could do something along
the lines of...

if your seeking games, and your game count is less than your max/active
count you'd be added to the anonymous "pool"...

then someone could issue an anonymous challenge.

they would get a player randomly selected from the anonymous pool.
