The blocked players list of the Chess King's Playing Hall:
- allows seeing the challenges despite the block;
- it is also not really private.
It is a major flaw.
If I do not want to play with someone, I shall block that player. However, I do not want to declare it publicly.
Currently, I see the challenges of those I have blocked and also those who have blocked me.
Worse, when clicking on the challenge, the player sees a message that the opponent has blocked the player.
Worse, the player is not informed beforehand that the blocked players list is not entirely private.
All this in sum makes the blocked list dysfunctional and also communicative, contributing to provocations and intrigues.
If the platform Chess King continues to maintain such weird features, I cannot regard it as a solid chess platform.
