Blocking is ignored in variants. At least it was for a while, not sure if it's just variants now.

Variants no longer respect blocking. This is not new.

The block button doesn't work in variants, antichess, or tournaments. They are only blocked from playing with you in standard.

  • Blocking is no longer respected for Variant games (except teammates in teams games). The player pool for such games is too small, which leads to "discrimination" issues. (For example, some players block all strong opposition, effectively preventing the blocked players from getting a game started.)


From this post.

note that if you cannot join a teams variant game if someone who blocked you is playing without a partner, but if that person has a partner, you actually can join. Basically, they make it impossible for you to team up with someone that blocked you or that you blocked.
