I think it depends on what time control you play. I play live 10 0 and never face an opponent 200 points higher or lower.
However, you are evidently playing something where there aren't a lot of players looking for games. When there aren't many people looking for games, you have to take whoever comes along.
It's 14 days and I never have problems getting 14 day games - always get them within a couple minutes -50 and plus 200 is not a reason to change the parms - it does say SAVE - not maybe save
I have the same problem. I set custom challenge settings at -50 and these settings are never saved. it was much easier to create a challenge on the old site, the new one really sucks.
Yes. How do you SAVE custom game settings. I want to set +/- ratings and keep them going. At the moment I have to repeat set them again before every game
Useless - it takes any player no matter what you put
If you say only -50 points it starts games with - 200 points
Why do I bother
Just get rid of the custom parms or go to the playground and find a five year old to do you coding
I don't want to play people 200 points lower
