Why does Live Chess still forces me to play BLOCKED players?

Hows this got through testing then? I'm bored of wasting my time reporting so can you take this forward as a moderator?

Can you provide some recent example games where you played someone you had already blocked?

I'm pretty sure Chess.com can perform that analysis. I've provided support team examples before and nothing has been done. I can't be bothered goin through all that again.

Previous reports aren't going to help. Games played against already blocked member's since the fix was applied would be needed to validate.

I don't work for chess.com - Perform some analysis and sort it. Shouldn't be hard, it's just a chess site.

This isn't fixed, I keep blocking players that abandon games, and then I get told that player is already blocked...so why the hell am I being matched with players I already blocked????

Customer support don't seem bothered. Been this way for months now.

I'm confused as to why it keeps happening as well. I hates it. Happens all the time. I'd rather play someone with 100 or 200 or even 300 more elo than myself than someone i blocked.

Blocking prevents chat, message etc but not matches i guess

This is what it says on chess.com:

Once blocked, a member cannot do any of the following:

Post notes to your account.
Send you messages.
Send you game challenges.
Send you a friend request.
Be auto-matched with you in open seeks.
Join tournaments that you are running.
Post in content that you created.

Is searching for someone to play against not an open seek?

confirmed as not fixed - raised with support AAAAAAGES ago and told it's being fixed as a "priority". Clearly our definitions of the word are different.

As far as I'm aware devs believe the problem was fixed as of a couple of days ago.
As of November 2024 still not fixed!

Come on chess.com - fix this nonsense please & thanks!

Here this article explains how chess.com's algorithm works to pair in a live chess challenge.

Why does Live Chess still forces me to play BLOCKED players?

Thanks for explaining it. Chess.com should call it something else then, as it isn't really blocking. Anyway, all good, cheers all !

Thats not what chess.com staff say. They have confirmed to me that you shouldn't be matched with someone you've blocked. Do you have a 1st hand link rather than 3rd party i can shoot their way?
