I know that Lichess doesn't want multiple accounts, and I understand why. However, there are some purposes for which multiple accounts would be useful:
- I like to play blindfold chess, but my rating is at least 7 or 800 points lower in that mode. It will look like I'm sandbagging if I play blindfold with my normal account.
- I don't like my identity to be public, so I have a handle which doesn't reveal my name. However, if I'm organising a private tournament for my local club on Lichess, it would be good to have an account which identifies me clearly, which I'd only use to play people I know.
Perhaps Lichess could consider condoning these uses of multiple accounts?
