4p unfairness

The automatic 4p grouping makes 4p chess a little bit unfair because some people are just starting and go against the "grandmasters" in 4p chess.

i can agree, the host gets jumpscare mated if noob

OR EVEN GM OR BELOW

Guys, there is even MORE unfairness

There are Prize arenas where you can get a membership, there are guys with 1800 farming on new players, and in the end, player like me 1600~ get destroyed and even had no chance because they have often farmed so much that there are only few players left...

Just play the variants that are actually fair (every other option on the server, with the exception of those under the WoF section) 🤯

thats real

or the custom variants I make because black and white ALWAYS have the same pieces and in the same places. They can be unbalanced, or sometimes go on too long, but at least it's freaking fair. Well, ok white always has a slight advantage, but that's a problem with chess and other variants

games can be set to have a maximum rating, if you are 1600 rated maybe you can set the limit to 1800, if you feel higher players too strong

yeah cuase im 2060-2070(if i rmenber well and i play -2150 ffa

thats how ive got my elo beside other things

even if you limit the rating for lower there might be opponents that very low rating that are playing against you and that makes it unfair for them.

Well, in 4P chess it depends who is in the match too, if there are are 3 pp who are above 2000 Elo, then you can say goodbye, if there is only one strong player and if you are playing good, you could actually win the second place

and 1850-2150?

Difficult to say, it depends on how good you can handle openings and endgame

I disagree. The ratings are what determines strategically who to pick on.

I don't think it is. When you click play, it first searches for a seek that is the same as yours. If there is one, you join into that seek, otherwise it starts a new seek. Then, players can join your seek from the lobby.

omg if you want avoid also too weak opponents, you can set also a minimum rating game, like 1450 min, 1800 max (considering you said you are about 1600 rated).

anyway, it's fun also to compete for the 2nd place, don't feel like lost game to finish 2nd in FFA.

me personally, i'm 2200 in 4p rapid, i generally prefer 2000 min games. i enjoy if there are much stronger opponents too also knowing i have almost no chance to beat them, but it's very sad that at high rated games even 2nd place is a loss of points, that's not FFA to me

Guys wtf are we talking about???

4 player chess games, how to avoid to play with opponents too much stronger or weaker than you. as i said, using rating filters
