Training Rating Leaders?

I haven't been able to find a leader board for the highest training rated players. If I'm missing something let me know. If not, I think it would be a nice thing to add. I've been doing a lot of training exercises lately, and it would be nice to see how I stack up against other players.
if it is here then many will start cheating so thibault and his team never put that leader board here on lichess
I don't understand you just write a leaderboard who is the best and the second the third... how the leaderboard for bullets games for example
What Souvik is saying, is that if they put up a training score-board it will only encourage people to cheat at solving puzzles (thus defeating the purpose of having them).

Within a day of it going up, it will be taken over by users employing engines to find solutions ... so, you WON'T be able to deduce where you stand at all.

Honestly, who really cares where you are ranked in training?? If you really care about it ... find friends and compare to them.

Training should be a personal endeavor; one where you track your weaknesses and work on those areas ... if you are dead set on seeing your name in lights, there are plenty of other scoreboards where you can test your luck / skill.

/my two cents
I'm not really interested in "seeing my name in lights." I'm more interested in seeing how well the best players do in training to give myself something to work up to.

Don't put it on the main leaderboard page then if you are worried about people cheating. Put it on some supplementary page. Or how about creating some sort of page where you can sort players by their various kinds ratings? I don't think the argument that too many people would cheat is a reason for this not to exist at all.
