Is having multiple accounts allowed by lichess? • page 2/2 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

Its not allowed! clearly says, "I agree I will not create multiple accounts" and you have to slide that to green to agree.
This is unfortunate.... so I basically have to delete my old account to create a new one.

And another thing is, since both chess.com and lichess.org don't allow multiple accounts you are forced to play at the competing site also, don't know if that is a smart business idea.

@Poldi_der_Drache that's just to discourage people from making tons of accounts. But you are allowed to create a second account if you have a good enough reason. Some examples would include a blindfold account, a berserk-only account, an anonymous account (so no one can prepare against you in OTB), etc.

Well the reason I want another account is because this one is too cluttered with games and I want one to play mostly longer games and some bullet maybe. Also I want a shorter name and cant change it anymore. Also like someone else mentioned one for serious games and one just to enjoy a game but too tired or whatever to play at my best.

@Poldi_der_Drache I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do that.

If you are too tired to play your best, why not play casual(unrated) games?

@Poldi_der_Drache it would be fair to other players if you would mention your alternative account in both profiles. That way no one can argue that you have an alternative for unhealthy reasons.

Edit: one reason for an alternative would be:
Someone blocked you because of harassment, now you create alternative and continue to harass. (just a stupid example)

@Poldi_der_Drache I mean you should state it in your account profile to be transparent.

EDIT: If you're not willing, we might suspect alternative reasons for your alternative ;)
