Hello, So I am making a multiplayer chess game in makecode arcade, and i want to ask is it possible to hide the other player (i.e., the opponent) in game so the player can’t see what is their opponent planning or thinking what to do

Sadly, no-- each player has the see and share the same screen.  
However, if you’re making a chess game, you are usually able to see the whole board in person. Is there a specific feature you’re trying to implement that requires secrecy? 👀 (I could try to help with an alternative!)
