Anyone know how I can set the search parameters on how to play higher rated players? At least up to 1400? Thanks.

It's not easy. You are only rated 874 in rapid which you mostly play.

You can set the search parameters to min -50 and max +400. https://www.chess.com/settings/live

The problem is that you will probably wait a very long time for a game- until someone comes up with a min parameter of -400.

Play Arena Tournaments. You will occasionally be paired against a much (400 points) higher rated player.

Thanks guys. I've been away from chess for a few months and just getting back into it now. Apparently I've gotten rusty since I used to have a rating of at least 1050 lol. I want to gain a good amount of points for winning against opponents that are rated a few hundred points higher than I rather that just earning 8 points here 10 points there for each win.. hoping some muscle memory will kick in haha! Btw, weren't players more easily able to set parameters this way on the old website?? I feel like with the new site, they removed that feature..
