Hello,
I've been playing on this site for a couple of weeks, focusing on the learning exercises and playing the computer. I'm getting better, but have no reference against people. I see how to start a game, but not how to open a room for other beginners to join in. Am I missing something, or is there a way to play other beginners or people of similar "rank" so I can start testing my game? Or do I have to 'know' people to invite them? I would hope there would be an auto matching system or way to open the game for anyone of a similar status to join. Please help.
Just go to live chess, pick a time control and click "play". Unless you self-reported to be advanced when you signed up, you will be matched with a lower rated player. If you lose, your rating will drop so your next match should be against an even lower rated player.
