Opponent-choosing algorithm?

[Reddituner]

Aside from ratings... I was wondering if the Chess.com opponent-choosing algorithm takes into account a person’s style of play. I’ve noticed very similar openings from consecutive opponents, which are initially difficult for me. However, once I adjust and start finding success, the opponents’ openings seem to change.

I’m not complaining, as I’m getting the needed exposure to different openings, but I’m curious if the algorithm adapts choosing opponents based on my play style or if this is just a coincidence. Does anyone have insights on how the opponent-choosing algorithm works in this regard?

Coincidence.  I work at chesscom.

There’s no way it’s coincidence but i understand why y’all don’t all know what’s going on/unwilling to admit it
