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

    Play longer time controls. 15+10 or longer is ideal.

    Don’t worry about Elo. Your rating will be provisional until you’ve played quite a few games. I would recommend hiding ratings completely in the Preferences and just playing. That way you can avoid any kind of rating-anxiety.
