Warcraft III claims to match people to your skill level when you
play online.  There are both good reviews and bad reviews of the
system.  The first time I played, though, it seemed to put me up
against other newbies.  Hardly fair, as I had read a lot of
strategy.  Unfortunately, I had to drop, but when I did my Tauren
warchief was pounding one of my enemy's town to pieces.
