I played casual chess now because I am using my phone
And there's Good chance I'll make a mistake due to the touchscreen, so I played anonymously. Good to play a range of skills people but you can't weed out the grumpy low rated players who after blundering let their timer run out. I'd rather log in and play and learn to use my phone properly.
I played unrated before making an account, since that's the only option for them. Some people just want to play chess without the hassle of registration, and for a long time the benefits didn't seem worth the extra hassle. There's also cases where one is user of lichess and inviting their friend to just one game.
When playing unlimited time control casually, I also typically discuss the moves and plans with my opponent and the like. Sometimes even chess not pertaining to the match, or further beyond.
My balls disappeared. I feel around for em and nothing.
Wasn't always the way, before I got shot, and I could hop in the ring with most anyone in Montreal. Now I just hope to never run into this fella in a dark laneway with a chess set. Yea, man boobs too.
well maybe some people don't care about ratings
Those who play without ratings care about ratings at the utmost.
That's the logic of the OP.
This looks like a troll thread.
I can tell from the idiotic statement, and from having seen quite a few troll threads in my time.
"People who feel pressure from a lichess rating need to think a lot more about what is important in life."
People who get angry about faceless internet strangers playing other faceless internet strangers in a casual game of chess need to actually think.
