Opponent rating

The question is very simple. I'm currently rated 793 in rapid. What should my opponent rating be when I'm searching for games? I've set it to -50/+150.

set it for the minimum “below you” (which i believe -50 is) and for the maximum above you

what you have looks pretty good for seeks

I have no idea what this means haha. Care to enlighten me?

it is generally encouraged to play the strongest players

and having -50/+150 means the “lowest” opponents will be within 50 rating points of yourself (so, essentially equal rating)

+150 means you can be paired with opponents up to 150 rating points higher

this way you are often playing opponents of equal or higher rating
