I want to start playing against people in lichess but I don’t know what is the best option for me. I’ve been playing for years solving puzzles and against the computer, but I don’t know what is the best option to start online games. Do I just use the quick pairing options to get matched against someone around the same skill level?
Since I don’t have any real game, what kind of ELO should I expect? Thanks

If you don’t have much chess experience, you’ll likely lose your first 3 or 4 matches, and drop to a three digit rating, then you’ll be matched with people who are pretty even with you. Have fun, don’t take anything too seriously :)
