More classical tournaments please

On topic: see #11 again.

We also have hourly rapid arenas which last two hours, ten minutes per game each player. If every player has 30 minutes per game we need to increase to six hours to get the same amount of games.

A problem is that players may leave because they have to wait too long for new opp. But on the other side these players may also watch other players during tourn, shit chatting.

I still see no problem with this.

20+10 • Classical • 6h that is exactly the format of the monthly classical and it has enough rounds. Maybe you could make it weekly and put it on a weekend. Daily seems difficult so that all time zones can free up 6 hours to play.

I read all the time that it's harder to cheat in bullet than in rapid yet I've had a much higher rapid rating than bullet in the two years I've been on lichess.

bump @thibault (forgive me for the 2nd time i've tagged you in this thread)

Please stop.

I'm in favour of 25+0 Hourly Classical Arena of 2h57min length starting every three hours. There would be eight tournaments every day. One or two of them would be a thematic tournament. The time control could also be varied to 20+10 in one or two of the tournaments and be named Hourly ClassINCal Arena.
Apart from this we could have four hour long weekly, six hour long monthly, and ten hour long shield tournaments every week and month.

Start a round Robin tournament, like the real ones instead of just arena tournaments, where just playing fast makes sense. A classical tournament with few amount of rounds and keeping one or two rounds daily would be really great. No late entries allowed. Once the tournament starts no one should be able to join. Thats my suggestion.

When I play the Classic, I train with real pieces. Since I put a Stauton board in front of the laptop. It is the best thing to prepare OTB tournaments (On The Board). The increase is good for me, to listen to the play and perform it on the board.

You can create a tournament yourself, maybe someone should create daily classical tournaments to test viability?
