"Zoom to yourself" on scoreboard

Concise description
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- A button on the scoreboard that would say something like "Zoom to myself" and would take you directly to the page of the scoreboard that you are on, and highlight the line that you are on.
- The "Score" number on your profile would do the same thing.
- The scoreboard would have an Ordinal value as well as a Cardinal value for your score (2175th, for example.)
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- Everyone is curious to see how they stand on the scoreboard; that's only natural. If you're in the Top 20 or whatever, I'm sure it's pretty easy to have a look, but if you're an average player like me and usually mired on page 15, it's a daunting task. Not only does it take a while to click through to page 15 and find your approximate score range, but it's even difficult to find yourself once there, because the scoreboard doesn't update instantly any more and your current score is probably not what your score was last time it updated.
- I wanted to try this new thing where every day I would challenge the person immediately above me on the scoreboard to a 1v1 game. Sort of like a ladder tournament, but played with the entire membership. Finding myself on the scoreboard was such a pain in the ass that I gave up this new game after only one day.
- I've added the suggestion that there should be an Ordinal value as well as a Cardinal one, because it is often more meaningful to know where on the list you stand rather than a raw score.
