Only play against premium members?

At some point I think I remember a setting that allowed one to 'only play against premium members'. 

I just went through all the settings and now I can't see it. 

Does anyone know where this is? 

Was it perhaps taken away as an option?

Thanks

That's an option for Daily games under Custom Challenges.

Also I just saw it in Live games under Play and Allow challenges: Premium Members Only. 

Good stuff.

Just not interested in playing the fly-by cheaters.

Yeah, that should prevent any basic members from challenging you directly. I only looked in the main settings and not the settings within live; not sure why both sections don't have the same options.

It doesn't work. 

I'm still playing against a bunch of non-paying members.

Oh well.....

It's not possible to set outgoing seeks to Premium only in Live.

Is there an option to only not play with elitist richboy premium members?

I agree is there a way to turn off always premium because even when I turn it off I play against premiums

There is literally no point in wanting to play only against non premium members... when people pay for premium they are much less likely to cheat because they have spent a decent amount of money on their membership as opposed to the people that don't pay anything and therefore have "nothing to lose". Also, the gold membership is only like 25 dollars or something which is really not that much money for the value of the product. And, you certainly don't have to be a "richboy"...

tbh if that is An option that shouldn’t be a thing cuz theirs no point whether ur opponents premium or not at the end of the day ur just gonna play a game of chess

BRUHHHHHHH ITS ACTUALLY A THING

Is this thread solved? Setting to only play members? if so where is it in setting menu?

No, random seeks can't be limited in that way for Live. Only Daily.

Ok.  I must say I'm a little worried when constantly loosing to 900 players. That said it seems that they are strong in the beginning but when forcing a lot of random moves they run out of time and loose in the end!!? Think I have to find another chess platform. Thanks

You can restrict your seeks to ratings closer to your rating.

You can toggle premium members only or keep it off

That only impacts the open seeks graph display and has nothing to do with random pairings.

The ironic thing about this is, you are a basic member

that sucks, we want to have the only premium option 

I also really want to be able to seek games against Premium players only. I'm really tired of playing against recently created accounts that will soon be closed for Fair Play violations.
