Could you please check your settings again? https://www.chess.com/settings/daily ![]()
Rating Range
My settings are from -infinite to infinite, but this is how I made the game. Shouldn't that override the default settings?

I just had the same issue. I created two open challenges, and in the challenge option I specified -50 to + 200 i the rating range. I have been matched with players in the -100 range
The daily chess settings shouldn't matter if you specifically create a challenge with a specific rating range. It's like you make a challenge for a 5m blitz game and it throws you into a 30m rapid game instead because that's the default setting somewhere, or in this case if you have 14days/move set in your daily game settings but then you create a 1day/move challenge, it shouldn't throw you into a 14days/move game
I'm not sure if it's a bug. I've started a daily game and I set the opponent rating range from -50 to +200. Instead the game started with an opponent with a rating of 200 lower than mine.
I'm certain I chose -50 to +200 not -200 to +50. Does it happen when no other games are available or is it a bug?
