A few questions about titles in lichess

#1
1.Suppose I have the CM Title, If I become an FM, Can I fill the titled verification form again or do something else.

2.How many accounts can I have with my title?

3.Suppose I have a main account and another account I would like to keep secret, should I fill out the form two times?

A2 . probably just 1 (not sure)
A3 . if you want to keep ur cm account ur main and the fm one the secret or vica versa

It is probably not one, lichess would definitely allow two or more since many players with titles would like to have a secret account

And what do you mean by analyser?

But the account is more secret if you don't use your title; not even the staff will know who you are.

>1.Suppose I have the CM Title, If I become an FM, Can I fill the titled verification form again or do something else.

You can fill out the form, you can contact Lichess in other ways or you can DM me.
If an account is titled, you have already been verified, we can just update the title information. We can also update it on our own. It's currently not automated though, so it's done when we notice it and only within a respected category (open, women). Women to open and vice versa would only be done upon player's request.

>2.How many accounts can I have with my title?

We generally allow one public and one private/anonymous account with a title.
However, we reserve the right to put restrictions or refuse to title an account under certain circumstances, e.g. ID fraud, ToS violations and so on. See lichess.org/terms-of-service

>3.Suppose I have a main account and another account I would like to keep secret, should I fill out the form two times?

If account isn't titled, you would have to fill out the form with appropriate documentation.
You can do it twice, you can do it once including a selfie indicating both accounts, e.g. "My public Lichess account:..." and "My private Lichess account:..."
We require the text to be exactly as specified in the form. Otherwise, you would end up filling out the form again.

We do not accept FIDE Online Arena titles. For CM titles, we only accept FIDE CM. Sometimes people mistakenly think this applies to their national CM titles, we do not accept these. See lichess.org/help/master

Great Answers to all my questions, I have one final question
Suppose I have 2 titled accounts and I close one of them, Can I make another one and have titles?

One interesting thing is that magnus has 4 or more accounts with the gm title

We do not discuss any accounts with third parties.

We may transfer the title as long as this isn't done in an abusive manner and within the scope of ToS.
New account would need to be verified via the form.
