Chess.com is unfair
Sort:
I remember when I was new 2 years ago, I suffered the same problem.
I knew how to move the pieces but that was it.

I was going to give a serious answer about how when you are a new player your rating takes time to settle to its correct level and that in due course you will be playing players of very similar ability...but then I looked at your game history and it is a little odd. You have played 14 'games' which have registered as being played today 29/1/21. Of these the first was 11 moves and was abandoned with your opponent up a piece. Then all other games were also abandoned with only 1 move played with the exception of 2:
Game abandoned, your opponent wins. Reasonably normal looking, you could have taken the queen next move.
Game abandoned, your opponent wins. You shuffle the rook back and forth.
So perhaps you can explain what is going on...you see the rating of your opponent and decide you don't want to play? You start those 2 games where a few moves were played and decide you don't want to continue so leave the game? In the 11 move game you were down a piece so decided to leave the game?

Yes, If I see that they have played more that 1 game I just abandon the match... I refuse to play an unfair game.

Well that's just a foolish approach isn't it...there is no system which pairs players who have not played a game on the site before. So play some games, see what happens, get an accurate rating through your results and then be matched with players of similar ability.
I'm so confused. U made a post in 2019 about stalemates saying u had 14 games all stalemated... But u hadn't even played games yet by then.
Either this is the worst attempt at a troll i've ever seen on chess.com or ur mixing up multiple chess sites.

But I'm getting beat by the easiest computer and don't really understand chess. everything I've ever seen in my life puts all new players together I want to play people who are as clueless as me. Besides I don't think I even have the patience to play chess.

I had 14 stalemate on a chess app where the AI was very easy. Now I'm playing actual people I have no idea how to play
What is this...

If you had continued that game of 5 moves you could have captured the queen and been winning. Look, everyone has to start somewhere and you obviously have some interest in chess or you wouldn't be here. All those players that you abandoned games against are right at the bottom of the rating scale. What is the harm in just playing a few games? Who cares if you lose them, it's not that important. Maybe you might win one or two and surprise yourself.

I think chess is interesting and would love to be good at it but it just seems to difficult for me, but I appreciate the helpful replies

If you sign up to a dojo for martial art, it's pure luck if you have got any other member that registered only a few days ago. Then, it's very unlikely, the master will always confront you to the only other full beginner of his dojo, so you can progress.
Chess is a sport, a hard one, and it takes several losses before you can only lose every other game.
What is unfair, is to make us endure your whinings.
I have trained martial arts my whole life and was going to compare this to martial arts... If a new person came into my dojo we would never make a trained fighter fight them and beat them because they would just get beat up and not learn from it, and I'm not whining just pointing out how stupid this website is

And now you pose as gifted with telepahy and knows the reasons of others.
You're surely full of denial and evade harsh reality all the time. You need a shrink or spiritual guidance.
Now, if I was you, I'd quit embarrassing myself like that.
My advice: shut this account, create a new one, and start over with no one knowing you've been that ridiculous guy before.
The other guy tried to help but you replied hostile and tried to provoke me by insulting me. No normal person does that only insecure keyboard warriors who are scared of real life confrontation so do it over the Internet. I was just making an assumption... and if you think I care what people think about me on a chess website you are very mistaken

Help? What help? Did you ask for help? I missed that.
I asked why it doesn't put me against players...
I don't really know how to play chess and have never won a game but I keep getting put against people who have played 100s of games and get checkmated quick... my first game was against someone who had won 150 games and I had won 0. Why doesn't it put me against other new players?
