How to avoid a specific observer of your games?

Hi. There is a person who constantly observes my games in the hope of watching me lose. How can I avoid him? I blocked him, reported him and he still can watch my games. Thanks in advance

Hmm... don't know if you can stop him from watching but I'd recommend using Zen Mode which hides everything except for the board.

If anyone else knows how to fix this do educate me, it's been a while since this has been asked haha
I went to one of your games in hopes of observing the observer. Apparently they were wise to my plans and in this case refrained.

How do you know they want to see you lose?

Yes, I agree. How can you tell they want to see you lose? maybe he is a huge fan of you

One can't avoid but only hide which others mentioned.
Also no one watches other's games in hope of them losing.
Just ignore them and move on.
I know that he wants to see me lose because he's someone I know in person, from a chess club and he openly expressed it "you're a terrible player, you can't have that rating" and things like that
Anyway, it seems logical to me that if you block and report a user, they shouldn't be allowed to interact with you in any way. Not even to watch your games...

Under the assumption that you have already attempted to reason with them and it was unsuccessful, I suggest that you report their account for harassment, especially if their behavior is provocative, and furtherly explain the situation in your report.
And just in case youre wondering if this is good enough a reason to report someone, it is considered a TOS violation.
Quoting from the lichess TOS TLDR: "Be nice and courteous to all other players, always"
