Open Challenges - Unrated
Sort:
When starting a new daily game, why does it seem like everybody in the ‘Open Challenges’ pool is wanting an unrated game? This is a recent pet peeve of mine, and it didn’t used to be this way.
I’ll play you on a rated game if you like

If you are playing on the iOS app there is a bug. Many of the games are likely rated.
The reason people play unrated games is quite simple:
- It is a casual game they can play without losing or gaining any rating points
- It is a good way to learn how to play the game without losing rating
- It is one of the best ways to communicate with friends in chat, how to collaberate on the moves you played and improve upon them.
- Playing unrated is something you can do and nobody will be upset, win or lose.
So there are many reasons people play unrated. In this case it is Daily and honestly I play a lot of unrated daily and the reason being, it takes a long time, but also because I like to enjoy playing with the longer time formats with friends and other players so when I want to have a nice, competitive and learning game of chess I play daily unrated...
Yes but they are all unrated. You have no other choice

You have no daily games currently in progress. Click on the green play button in your screenshot. You’ll see options to create a daily challenge. There is a button which displays a list of the open daily challenges which you can accept.
See link for more information.

I don't see it.
If you don't see it that means there are no challenges that you are able to accept. That is, none are open where you meet the challenge criteria.

Actually, it's been a while since I've really done Daily.
Here is how you do it.
Go to the Daily page and click on the Why not start one? link
Then Open Challenges

It’s been like that for weeks. It’s a crapshoot but the majority of the games are rated. Like buddy said if you create a challenge it will be rated. It sucks when you wit one after losing 15 and it turns out to be unrated.

Maybe one day, a magical thing will happen. You will go to https://www.chess.com/daily and see the following.
In the green square you would see 1 day games, rated and unrated. In the red squares 3 day games, and in the purple squares 7 day games. Call it a dream, call it a sensible idea.
