What's the Point of Following? How is it Different from Friending Someone? - Chess Forums

Can someone explain to me why there is an option to follow other players? When you friend someone, you automatically follow them. But for unfriended players (even ones who you block or who block you) you still have the option to follow them. I see nowhere on chess.com for you to see who you follow, only your friends list. So what's the point?

This is not a variants exclusive feature
Following allows you to see whenever a person posts a new topic in the general forums (not clubs) and posts a public blog

On that note, I think there should be a follow option similar to that on the Play server, where if you follow a player, you are automatically redirected to the game that they are playing.

you mean like the 2nd icon from the left?
