Hi Thibault and team,

Congratulations on the great success on the marathon! it was a lot of fun, I enjoyed it a lot!!

Please allow me to suggest a minor change for the next time... replace the word "Withdraw" with "Take a break"... so people know that withdrawal is temporary.

I wish you great success for the next marathon.
Also congratulations on making the best chess playing site in the world by far!

Thanks for the event. It was great fun. I think a 3+2 with a berserk that removed the increment, or maybe a double berserk for no increment and 1:30 would neat.

One small recommendation, I was kind of surprised that clicking on the "Autumn Marathon" text in the tourney lobby didn't lead to a page with information on exactly what the rules are regarding streaks, doubling, points, and so on.

Guys vote for 1+0 time control

I'm not sure 1+0 is the best option. If we want tournament for all players, tournament with slower time control (or at least with increment) would be better. For newbies 1+0 is too fast.
