Can't create game with specific side any more

One other funny solution: we re-instate the color-picking. But, you can only choose white if your last game was black, and vice versa.

That would defeat the whole purpose of being able to chose your side.

That's correct. I was mocking the other guys' suggestion to remove matchmaking (quick matches) and only have matches by picking in lobby.

Oh I see.

Thank you, @Sofia-Mary

I think this is the most discussed subject in lichess.
Never saw so many complaints.
And never ever saw any lichess bobo's respond.
Strange for such a big issue.
But maybe this post will be removed as beeing inappropriate.

in the immortal words of mel gibson give me FREEDOM to choose my color.

Just adding my void to those who think this is a bad idea. If the problem of too many people choosing White is important, there are other ways to solve it. This one hurts a lot players.

I think that Lichess want to changes the day of April fool... really, this "solutions" it is just dumb, they are probably making a "bad joke".
