I was randomly playing and thought of a couple things we could add that might be a nice.

  • Play Computer
    • Have an option to randomly select your opponent.
    • Fine tune that further to have the option to only pick opponents that you have or haven't beaten.
  • General game play suggestion
    • Add a setting to hide your opponent name and/or rating while actively playing the game. I know there are a lot of people getting an addon for their browser to do this. Why not just add it yourselves?

There's Focus Mode on the website,: https://support.chess.com/en/articles/8588088-what-is-focus-mode-how-do-i-turn-it-on

True but I can still see the names. That would help someone at our level because we probably play a little more aggressive against someone who is 200+ points lower and more passively against someone who is 200+ points higher. I know I do. I will never be a GM, so it won't affect me, but if I played someone like Anish or Fabi, I would play different than if I play some other random IM. Seeing a name associated to my opponent would make me play different because I would roughly know their rating.

Hide rating is a setting now.
