Constantly getting lower rated opponents on chess.com mobile app even though I specifically specified stronger rated opponents on the computer platform version. I can’t control the level of players on my phone, why? I’m sure it’s a grand conspiracy or just sheer lazy algorithms. It’s frustrating and easy to go on tilt with players who are 200-300 points less than you and the option to abort games is compromised as well (forced to play games one doesn’t want to). Absolutely bonkers I already canceled my platinum and I am contemplating using a different platform for online chess.
On Android you just start with a Custom game where you can change the ranges. I think that will stick for the standard challenges as well, though it may have to be of the same type.
You can set the ranges on the app.
