Hi to all!
I would love to see on Lichess "really" classical tournament.
I.e. 45+0 or 30+20 or more, Swiss system with 7 or 9 rounds, rated, 2-4 games per day in certain time (in principle it might be finished in one weekend, but not necessarily), "face-control" during registration to avoid most obvious cheaters.
Are there any people who would also support this idea?
You have my support! I don't understand why most of online chess tournaments are only blitz-based, or 10-15 minutes at most :/
what do you mean by "face-control"?
by the way i like your idea :)
To #3. To check the games which person has already played to be sure that this is not a cheater, i.e. you have to play something before you join a tournament. Therefore I think, prior registration is required, let's say 1 day - 3 hours before the tournament begin.
Yes, I don't see why lichess couldn't have like 2x per week "a real classical" tournament. I think 45+0 is a bit too much, but something like 25+10 seems optimal time control for online. :)
thanks Alex_1987 :)
Cool idea
I think this is a good idea as well.
To #6. Though I personally did not play anything longer 25+10 for more than 10 years, I still think that 45+0 and more would not be too much. It's "classical", so let it be classical. I underline, it SHOULD NOT BE AN ARENA SYSTEM, like all tournaments on Lichess. Therefore it's not important how much time exactly you spend in each game. I.e. when you have 2 games per day at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. you are absolutely not limited with any time control.
