9 Knowing who ones plays against has a strong psychological effect. This leads to significant expectations and strategic decisions. Also, this leads to more repetitive and less interesting matches. Not knowing who one is playing against makes the matches less predictable and forces the players to consider more possibilities, therefore increasing the depth of the game within the existing mechanics. 9 Knowing who ones plays against has a strong psychological effect.
