Hi all.

 

I use my iPhone app to play on chess.com.  However I have just tried to have a rematch with a player I have had a number of games with but I now get a popup message saying "Error: Min rating too low."

Anybody else had this, or know how to get around it.  We are both only just above the 1500 rating mark and I have tried changint the ratings range but I still get the message.

 

Thanks in advance if anybody can help with this....

 

Mike.

This happened with me and one of my regular opponents.  One or both of you changed your settings, i'm betting.

Go to 'Settings' and then 'Daily Chess' (and/or 'Live Chess') and make sure the rating range for challenges isn't interfering.  Make sure your buddy does the same.

If that doesn't work (or if you've already tried it -- and it sounds like you might have), the other way i've gotten around it is to challenge them via another avenue.  

I can't remember how i did it exactly, but i went to their profile and challenged them from there, or created a custom challenge from the home page, or something like that.
