locked accounts for tournaments

Hello, I am writing from my daughter's account, jaraperches, who has her blocked to enter tournaments, since she has played with my wife, bartola76 and since she is learning, she has always won and the program is thought to be a double account . I am pjpernias and my son pedroperniaschess, I tell you because there are 4 of us in the family, the 4 of us play and we did not know that this problem could arise, my daughter usually plays tournaments at school and among friends and cannot because of this problem, I beg you you give solution. thanks and good day
Maybe for that purposes you should play casual games when you play with you mom, brother etc.. In that case, you don't manipulate your rating and everything is fine.
Letting a learner win all the time is just silly..they will never learn that way.
Another thing...4 in the same family(obviously the children are both still young and at home) playing chess against each other online ???...rated??????.

Pull the other leg..
If they weren't, contact lichess by e-mail:

Tell them your problem, because we can't help you otherwise.
@obladie, Why play online in the same house? Just to pull your leg yes, sure:D

it is an easy board to set up and use. The game and statistics is automatically recorded. It is easy to analyze. It is more serious when it is rated. It makes sense if you think about it. It is fun. It gets the children to participate. It allows multiple players to play when you only have one set in the house. I play online with my house, as well as OTB. I even play tournaments with the people in my house, including grandad and grandma from far away. So maybe we are obsessed:) Do not judge so quick, my friend.

The OP played casual for the last 6 days against her mom, it is obvious that the intend was not to manipulate ratings. it is illogical to imagine she would inflate her ratings to play in a tournament - she would rather artificially lower it.

R3-D3 had the correct, and friendly, response ;)

Edit: oh, and the mom could be the weaker player - the daughter might be winning because she is learning and thus improving. So it's not necessarily a case of "letting" the learner win.
