i got bored and checked that 23 of my last 50 opponents have been new people (i dont rematch)

so about 54% of people i get paired with will be repeats

Thats just bec ur new in the 2500s. If you have played almost two thousand games at a certain level like ur truly at the 2300-2450 level, then most of them will be rematches..

Oh I love that!!! Yep, we learn each other - same with my sister. She's actually a really good natural player. She's a puzzle freak and it shows. But we know each other's tricks and weaknesses. Good and bad.

Wonderful! Actually, I've viewed your Home Page a few times prior and almost messaged you - I thought you'd be fun to play! I hesitated because you seemed to do mostly Blitz (is that the lightening?) and at the time I had lots of Daily Games going.

#15. Ok I understand what you're saying but still if people are playing the same people everyday then it gets boring and it's no fun at all.

#18. Thank you for that. I'm pretty sure there will be different chess players to player with.

You gonna have to get used to it lol. The alternative is chesscom introducing bots in the regular pool. I don't think anybody wants that

When I play 30 sec, I often play people that I’ve played before and then get matched against then 5 times in a row.

Trust me. I am used to it by now and I really don't have an issue with it. 😉

Its the same thing, there are almost no players in 30 secs, but at high levels its basically all time controls.

Wait a minute for the OP: You can play random chess players which are always different people around the world. 🙂

I notice it less on lichess even though there's less people there

Maybe not bots ... maybe there are like-minded Players who want to work, talk, teach, and share games (unrated?) at 30 - 45 min Rapid where they perfect their craft.

I almost created a post about "what is the perfect Opponent Resume'". I, for one, would love to be involved in such games! I would learn also. WIN-WIN. Anyway, I'll keep dreaming.
