I suppose I was thinking about the variant tournaments mainly, which only occur once a day (I think?) and don't have hourly versions.

Lichess Feedback - Suggestion: Rotate daily tournament start times.#1

Right now daily tournaments always start at the same time. This doesn't allow for certain players to participate when they may be working or sleeping, etc. I suggest that the start times be rotated to…

Off-Topic Discussion - please stop whining like crybabies#2

In 1591 games I've only had problems with two players. One accused me of cheating and one was unsportsmanlike during the game (repeatedly offering draws when lost, running the clock down, etc.) Maybe …

Game analysis - Where is my mistake?#5

Lichess Feedback - Full on Blind Fold Chess experiance. #3

Being able to see the board is fairly helpful, so not really "blindfold," IMO. O-O vs. 0-0 doesn't seem like a big deal to someone basically familiar with algebraic notation. It's only a mistake you'd…

Lichess Feedback - Training Unforgiving#3

Right, I don't really mind losing the points. Getting a high score isn't the point of tactics training, after all ;) However, the effect on ratings of problems is more meaningful. I suspect that quite…
