I’m a complete beginner, in the 400-500 bracket. I’m trying to learn seriously and improve my chess dramatically. I am also going through the lessons and doing numerous puzzles a day. I am really enjoying the game despite being absolutely rubbish.
I felt like even on the 30 min rapid games I was feeling the pressure and blundered a lot. I decided to take some of that pressure away and had a go at the daily games instead which I think has helped me.
I keep getting matched with 400 rating opponents on daily game which is what I want but quite a few of these people have fairly high ratings on rapid which demonstrates they are decent opposition and therefore in my view unfair opponents. Is there anything I can do to ensure I am against genuine beginners like me on daily?
Set the minimum number of games at a high enough level that hopefully the stronger players will have higher ratings and not low ones
