It would be fun to play versus 1850-1900+ rated people in Rapid. What is the best way for me to face them? Is that in tournaments/arenas and if is it then in normal or swish mode? I am rated around 1700 for reference. To me a win versus a 1900 would matter so much more then 20 wins versus 1700 people. I played and tournament a few days ago and I got to face a CM and other higher rated people and it was really fun. But that was a smaller Swedish torunament and swish to so I guess the odds where higher there to face stronger player since it was smaller?
Swiss? A Swiss-style tournament matches players by results after the first round. However, the first round pairs high and low rated players.
