I've seen a player rated 2745 in classical!!!

But all his classical games are against the same opponent, mateysrus
From FAQ:

In order to get on the rating leaderboards, you must:

1. have played at least 30 rated games in a given rating,
2. have played a rated game within the last week for this rating,
3. have a rating deviation lower than 75 in standard chess, and lower than 65 in variants,
4. be in the top 10 in this rating.
The 2nd requirement is so that players who no longer use their accounts stop populating leaderboards.
It feels like that FAR more players, pros and amateurs are playing blitz and rapid on lichess. Classical should be the number 1 :D
@MathematicChess hopefully not. I am also convinced that fast chess is also a lot more popular although the majority of chess players recommend to play mainly slow games in order to develop in the long run.
