Is there a way to hide oponnents elo during a game?

Maybe it would be a good idea to play without knowing opoonents elo, and then later you can see the rating of your oponnent in your archived games.

That is actually a really good idea! I'm not sure if there is an option for that, but you should suggest it to the admins. It would help people be a little more comfortable with their play

You can still use the min-max rating search function doduobird123 the suggestion is to just hiding the rating tag next to their name during the game I presume.

Well I would imagine you could set to in your range, give or take a couple hundred points, then have the hide option on, so you know he's in your range, but you don't know exactly where. But even if you were 2900 and played a 600, I think that would be a good learning experience for the 600 guy lol

Maybe Chess.com can offer therapy to those members having psychological problems with seeing ratings?

I need therapy to help me get over my fear of losing my pawns. It's crippling my game!

This is worse than I thought. Chess.com certainly needs counselors in a hurry!

Maybe you should volunteer! Chess.com players need your help! On a more serious note, do you feel like you are getting a good value with your membership? I'm on a trial for a few days.

Yes, with all the great fun I have here it seems like my membership was free!

The challenge of Tactics Trainer is a lot of fun for me. I haven't really explored the other benefits like I should since I only get about two good days a week to hang around Chess.com--where I work has been very busy this summer--I will this fall though. But I really like the little tiara next to my name.Smile

Yeah I like the tactics trainer too. Thanks for sharing your experience!

My pleasure!Laughing
