the focus mode is bad and here are my ideas on how to improve it
1. hide username completely because you might play someone 200-300 elo higher than you one time and then next week you play that someone again and you become scared since you might remember the username even when in focus mode and you probably lose from stress and overthinking
2. hide their title (if they have one) because more stress added when you are playing against them
3. hide profile picture and flag since profile picture can sometimes make it very obvious for who you are playing
the blue circle is showing what should be invisible but it should look like this without the pre-game review and rematch and seek game thing
it should also show the join date of the player and maybe an icon of their current league which the area i chose should be in the black rectangle or somewhere else if chess.com doesn’t like the placement area
basically the ‘gothamchess’ focus mode for TT but a tiny bit better
