Don't worry. Your rating will very quickly adjust if you really is much better. It won't take 'forever' just few games.
But if you can't beat 'weaker' players you probably aren't as good as you think. Must of us think we are better chessplayers than our rating suggest. Just like most people think they drive better than the average driver :-)
You obviously think too highly of yourself which is kind of annoying. To get a higher rating quicker you play someone who is 300-400 points higher than you. If you win, you get a ~15-25 points, instead of hitting play, you do a custom game adjust the ratings to -400 to +25.

and just how exactly do you consistently play players with ratings 3 to 400 higher? most have their filters set to no lower than 25 points.

I am just telling him that the option exists. I never said you would consistently get 300-400 points higher players than you.

then i guess it will take forever eh?
Hi,
Can I request that my rating starts at say 2500? to see I can play alongside the best. I've started playing chess again after a long layoff and think that it will take me forever to get my rating that high even if I beat everyone I play against. Or supposing I am a chess genius (I don't think I am but you never know lol) then my talent my never be realised as my rating starts so low.
Also if I were a GM, then would my rating from the outside world immediately be the same on chess.com - I'm assuming so as Gary Kasperov has played 0 games on chess.com but he is rated 8 in chess.com.
Kind regards
Matthew
