There should be a rule against show-offs like that. Wow.

I was calling you a show-off. ;)
All in good fun. Don't take it too seriously.
Don't touch the trophies of the GOAT (greatest of all time) of Lichess marathon ! I think it's very good like that. when I arrived on lichess, the first thing that impressed me was this marathon, I tried it about ten times without doubt, each time from the pleasure of the frustration, I agree, it was not not a dream for me, and before, some marathon literally looked like nightmares for me, my level, and my chess. I learned to take pleasure in this tournament, I got motivated and I forgot all about the rankings, that's where I became a chess player who takes total pleasure, without remorse for anything. the result came by itself, I decided to play 24 hours in the summer marathon, I played 23 hours of play, after that I was tired, I had an incredible time, it was not the tournament that was a dream, but the emotions, the incredible moments that I lived are dreams, honestly, it doesn't matter the trophy or not for me, I'm happy that lance has so many, it shows his pleasure and his involvement in this game and it is very noble! replace a trophy with numbers .... and the memories behind each trophy also you want to put numbers?! if @lance5500 is happy with these trophies like that, that's cool! greeting all!
@Lance5500 one question: How do you get all these trophies? I try and play them for about 10-20 hours each(especially bullet marathons) but I can't get top 500 trophie. How much duration do you play? How much do you practice? What do you specially practice(openings, middlegame, or endgame)?
His strength matters, not the duration. You don't have the strength for Top 100 and beyond. Top 500 should work out for you if you play about 20 hours. Just look at previous marathons and see how many games were required for Top 500 players in relation to their rating. E.g. in bullet you should have aimed for at least 500 games.

Thanks for the suggestion cedur. It was helpful.
Someone made a blog post or an article about no. of games, ratings and their probability of getting into the top of marathons.
I don't remember the findings, but from what I can recall there's some realistic rating cut off. Let's say the cut off is 2300. If you're 2200, even if you play 24 hours, you still won't get to the top 50 or top 100. Something like that.
It's best if someone finds the link to it.
There should be a limit of trophies one is allowed to have.
can this forum topic stop please.
