One of the things you have to keep in mind while doing anything is that if you're having fun. In addition, you don't always have to do rated matches, ratings are just a way of showing people who you're messing with.
"Every loss makes me stronger, every win makes me bigger."
In a chess game, you always lose, win, or draw.
You are most likely to win or lose.
Drawing isn't that common.
Winning might be fun, but losing might not.
When you lose, you should learn from your mistake in the game so you won't
make the same mistake again.
It doesn't matter if it was a higher rated player than you or a lower rated
player than you.
You just have to learn from your mistake.
Have fun and good luck in your game wether you win, lose, or draw!
