Does it make sense to have a correspondence chess ranking on lichess, what do you think ?
It does not because of cheating (it's done very subtly in correspondence and you have no solid enough evidence)

One of the correct players, whilst not making use of PC assistance during the game, has to calculate up to 10 to 15 % cheating by the opponent during the game, so my experience. I have not too much insight into the subtilities of cheated games. Somehow you notice during the game, that if for example a 1200 rated blitz player got 2150 points in correspondence chess, there might be something wrong. I tend to abandon these types of players, but this by no means doesn't beware you from cheating

I really wish there was.
If cheating is that much of a problem, why not remove ratings for correspondence? Not an invitation tho.
Also, Lstein, what do you mean by "abandon" these types of players?

btw; the definition of cheating in a game Iike chess has up to now no FIDE standards or is defined in any way. It is subjective. There is no science or philosophy behind it up to now. Lichess is a strong chess server, so we have to obey the ruIes if we want to take advantage of pIaying on this our HOLY PLAYGROUND. Be loyal to the excellence, folks.
