For all don't look at ratings on chess.com that are not relevant. This is why you play folks that seem extremely good but are rated low. The engine just matches based on rating. Rating not very good algo

At this moment I am a 1400+ player.
If there are five 1400+ players available for a match, then let the system choose the player with a fair match at peak level. That would be the solution.
Now I encounter 1700+ and even 1800 players (7 times today) and get totally swept away.
See it from the positive side: if you manage to win against a player in the 1700-1800 range you will get lots more points than winning against a 1400. And you will have the feeling that you are improving in chess.
