Why am I being matched with people rated below me?

I have 30 active daily games, all but one are with lower rated players. This is frustrating because in my last 8 games, I lost only one (after blundering my queen), and yet gained a measly 7 points. How can I fix this lopsided matchmaking?

Quit worrying about the rating.

Do tell, why should I not worry about the rating? I want to play against people who are better than 300 points below me, but I get the feeling that you have a truly inspiring nugget of wisdom up your sleeve. Share...

I just challenged you if you fancy a game.

Easy. Adjust your seek settings. Can choose a minimum and maximum opponent rating

Avatar of CookedQueen

Hardly to understand, what exactly is your problem?

Avatar of Strangemover

Intentional? What do you mean?

Avatar of Strangemover

oh yeah lol. Well we just started a 960, says he's 800. So no completed games i guess.

Worse than you at chess? No offense taken. It's actually the point, in fact. I do not have a high rating, and yet chess.com is not finding me a reasonable distribution of opposition. Surely there are enough people better than measly old me to match me with. Serioiusly, though, I'd be fine with a 3 to 1 ratio of lower/higher opponents. But 29-1?\
