The players you are paired with are random players in the same League as you, e.g. if you're in the wood league, you will be paired with ~49 other random players in the wood league.

Legend is the last league and nothing comes after it
Divisions on Chess.com are a way to gamify chess and motivate players to play more. They can be a fun way to track your progress and compete (indirectly) with others, but they shouldn't be the only measure of your chess skill.
I don't get the purpose of division
to me it feels forced - I don't want to play with other players from a division - I want to play chess with random people - but no, you have to have a rating and a division - god forbid you play the game that you love in a website about that game ...

because duolingo hates people who are on legend league on chess.com
um so I'm kind of confused because I just played a legend player and I'm in silver and yet he resigned and not to be mean but it felt like he wasn't legend or he wasn't trying

League level is primarily a measure of playing activity.

They should set up a system where you win three in a row and get a bonus 20-50 points added. This 8 point increment stuff is useless. Players just blunder 10-15 moves into a game, or they lose their queen and abandon.
Hi, I'm wondering how the divisions work?
I don't know how there is a player above me who's highest rating is 665 and my current rating is 1887 when they've also played less games then me?
I play tougher games and also play more games so if it works by a trophy system how do they have 600+ trophies when I only have 200+ trophies?
