Hey!
I don't know if I can answer you in french so I'll do it in english so that others can follow the subject :-))
2 wins out of 7 is really good if you're just starting out ! You already felt the thrill of winning ;-)
As for your opponents ratings I think you can set a range going from -200 to +200, or even -100 to +200 for instance.
Playing slightly better opponents than you (not much better of course) is really one of the keys of improvement as you start realizing your mistakes. As we say people learn from their mistakes, so you shouldn't be afraid to do a lot of them and go over your games afterwards to learn from them. In my opinion, this is the best way to improve quickly !
Cheers and good luck with your games!
Hi All,
I have been playing for about a week now and am hooked! I am only playing correspondence (24 hour move) chess, and only one game at a time. I have played 7 games and won two, which I think is OK.
But what I would like to know though is, what should I realistically set my opponents min & max rating levels at, so I can improve, without getting too dismayed, should I leave it on the default set by Chess.com or change either of the options?
Is two games out of seven, good, bad or average?
Thanks for any input,
Simon.
