When are we going to have tournaments with restrictions of elo-glicko in lichess? The only reason why I continue to play sometimes on chess.com is because on that site they have tournaments for your level-skill, here on lichess all tournaments are OPEN, for example if I want to play a blitz 5+0 hourly tournament I have to fight against players who are 1900+ elo-glicko strenght being almost imposible to win. Nowadays lichess has 10.000 players online playing so there are a lot of players of different levels to play in different tournaments.
What is "ELO-GLICKO" ??????
That's a good idea, which would work well for both high and low rated players. I think one reason Lichess isn't used much by GMs the way ICC and chess.com are is because everything is open. If there were tournaments specifically for 2500+ players, or for titled players, or for <1600 players, as you were suggesting, that would be great.
It's actually in the to-do list, as you can show your enthusiasm about this idea in this survey : http://strawpoll.me/6926400 .
Restricted tournaments would be a great update in Lichess, because a lot of players stand little to no chance in current opens, just like you say. Besides, it encourages leveling up, e.g., if I am playing an open and I lose I can just say that it was because there were masters in it and I had no oportunity. But if I lose a tournament for, let's say, <1800 having 1750, I actually feel that my skill is not up to my rank. Totally agree with this idea.
Agree would be great. I missed my trophies from chess.com daily blitz. Even better would be return of Swiss system in tournaments.
