Hi, How can I set the difficulty of opponents that the app pairs me with? Since the user interface changed, the app pairs me with opponents far above my strength. I used to be able to set it to play against other players who are also lower strength like me. I'm sure the option is there, I'm just not seeing it. Thanks

In settings, for live chess or for daily chess, you can set the range of opponents you want to face.

Here is a link from the Help pages for Android:

Under Play > Computer you can choose multiple bot personalities with different estimated ratings. Or the standard engine, and you can also change the bot rating.
