I have been playing on the app for a while now. Everybody I played against has opened with fool's mate. This is really funny. I'd expect that it is common knowledge that fool's mate is for beginners. Please let's make the games more challenging.

When you start beating them regularly and your rating rises, that opening will magicly disappear. 

Look at this position from a game you lost a month ago. Would you play differently now?

Where are all these Fool's Mates you're getting? I see not a single one in your game archive.
