begginer matches
When you click on live, you can click on options for the games and set it to a rating range + or - some amount, and it will match you up with opponents who are closer rated. I see your last game you were giving up 900 points of rating. That's not going to be very instructive... Set it to + or - 100 and see if that doesn't yield some more competitive games.
Playing when you're badly lost is just too hard, much less when you're starting out. I only looked at that one game, but your time was good, you used all of it. There's no sense playing if you leave a bunch of time on the clock. But with such a stronger player, the results are going to be just what you saw. That said, it also looks like you're keeping the game going 20-40 moves and that's great. Even with much higher rated opponents. Again, that's a good sign.
When you click on "Play", on the right there will be a drop down for the game that says "Custom". Click that, then down a few lines it will ask for a rating range. Set that to whatever you want.
