good day sirs and possible misses
i think most people play better chess if they had an option to not see their opponents rating. if someone is lower rated than you, one tends to play a little more hope chess in the pursuit of cheepos. on the other hand when someone is stronger, one tends to resign a little sooner as they feel hopeless and stop fighting.
i got this idea when i tried out icc, i found this to be great feature and would like to see it here.
i can speak for myself but i feel there are many chess players with anxiety and having an option to also hide who is watching the game may help too. i often find it difficult to play my potential when seeing spectators. would be nice to hide this like what happens on chess.com
if only granted one wish it would be to disable ratings, than disable all their information while playing and thirdly option to disable who else maybe viewing your games.
thank you for your time and consideration.
