Beginner matchmaking is still quite bad

[Vuizur]

I have not played chess since my childhood and wanted to play some quick games. So my ELO is very low (<400).

On Lichess, I played 23 Blitz games and won 17 percent of them. My ELO here is still almost 400 points to high (743), so I will also have a very low winrate in the future. I will have to play many many more games to get to a realistic ELO. (In bullet my winrate is about the same with even more games played.)

Contrarily, on Chess.com, I said that I am a beginner at the start, played about 20 Blitz games and have a winrate of exactly 50 %. So there it works perfectly.

I think that beginner player retention not going to be very good with such low win rates. Especially if the pattern is the same in rapid, where you play even less games in the same time.

(But other than that the program is great, you all did really good work on it.)
