Elo

Hello, I wanted to know why a player of 1800 or 1900 can play against a 1500, I think this is inequality for the one with less Elo. Similarly, a 1200 player does not have to face a 1500.

For me it is inequality because the one with the least Elo always loses, I myself have verified it and it is frustrating to lose against a better level, in Liches they should play a 1500 with a 1500 and a 1200 against a 1200. Greetings.
There is option to create game vs your rating player, no need to play random game if don't want

It's not about winning or losing, it's about learning. You shouldn't be frustrated when you lose to a higher level player, and instead, you should use it as a learning opportunity. Look at the mistakes you made and the moves that the higher rated player played, so you can understand how the higher rated players play. Perhaps, you will one day reach that level too.
A 1800 rated player has about 85% winning chance against a 1500 rated player according to Elo Win Probability Calculators.
Thanks for the answers, issue solved, I did not know how to configure correctly when creating a game, greetings.
