Most players probably have the range set around their own rating so they still won't get matched with you. In Arena Tournaments these settings don't matter though, i often get opponents rated 400-600 higher than me, it's a lot harder to win though obviously
how to play higher ratted players

so if i play hire ratid then i can get bake to 1000 that is
what your saying cuz i love being in
1000 ratid i miss it very much and i will
get bkey

Go to play, click on the custom section & go to 'open challenges' to see all rating levels.
I've challenged 2000 rated players this way no probs, but many 1200-1700's abort the game when they see my rating lol
how do you play against peple who are substantionly higher rated then you becuse when whent for player settings and put plus 400 for both and i still get people who are close to my rating.the reson i am asking this i saw people playing against substantianly higher rated then each other.
