The following Lie was sent to me from the people running Lichess. This is enough to close my account over.
They kickout people who are not rich, by repeatedly lying to us with the pop-up: "you're bad, your leave games, we must punish you to protect other players". I suggest everyone with a fast connection also close their account because real chess is not bad like Lichess: you're score is not higher if you have more money, and poor people *are* allowed to play it without being harrassed with lies labeling them "rule breakers". Here's what Lichess website owners spout to people who's only actual "crime" is having a cheap internet connection:
"
Sorry :(
We had to time you out for a while.
The timeout expires in 4 minutes.
Why?
We aim to provide a pleasant chess experience for everyone.
To that effect, we must ensure that all players follow good practice.
When a potential problem is detected, we display this message.
How to avoid this?
Play every game you start.
Try to win (or at least draw) every game you play.
Resign lost games (don't let the clock run down).
We apologize for the temporary inconvenience,
and wish you great games on lichess.org.
Thank you for reading!
