When I set a search for a new game, I often got matched with players who are way to good for me, or have terrible relations. Often the too good players decline the game, which is fine. I decline the terrible reputation players. But I'll Silk get rematched with those same players over and over again, often immediately. Is the any way to prevent this?
Thanks
Yes, there is a way to filter opponents by their rating and exclude higher rated players. I've posted instructions for how to do it a few times, but I'll have to go digging for it.
Ed.: found it
If you manually create a game (i.e., starting a game from the Play Now page with the rightmost option set to "Manual"), you can adjust settings so that only beginners and apprentices are able to join by clicking the link labeled "Restrict table access." But it may seriously increase the time it takes for the game to fill.
Alternatively, under Automatic matching you can leave "I'm okay playing with: My level" set to the default (under Opponent's Level in Show advanced options) and set everything else to "I never want to play with." The filter options are found by clicking on the gear icon next to the game thumbnail image.
Those first two options are found on the
Play Now page. From the single-game lobby, under the Start button to the right of the number of players you will see a green icon with people coming out of (or going into?) a door. Click on that to filter by Opponent's level.
There are also filters for karma when setting up a game. You can filter karma by >50%, 65%, 75%, or 85%.
