Hi everyone! Recently I have been struggling to change the rating settings of who I want to play. I liked the idea of playing people only better than me and wanted to change it, but when I start a new game, it always searches for someone -200 +200 my rating. Any help would be much appriciated!

In the time-control drop down menu in live chess select Custom then click on Rating Options which is just above the Start Game button.

You can't set your rating; you get your rating by playing rated games.

You can set a rating range if your opponents for random challenges
