At the moment it is possible to send someone a link to challenge another player lichess.org/?user=username#friend
This would help a lot to schedule a tournament, either round robbin or swiss, whatever, but overcoming the challenge to teach 65+ players to create a challenge themselves, to specific parameters stated by the tournament manager.
If it would be possible to add the time and colour and rated parameters, the manager can manually schedule these round robin tournaments himself, until such time that the developers can add more tournament types.
eg. lichess.org/?user=xK4LIBUR?time=15+15?Colour=white?variant=standard?type=rated#friend
maybe it is already possible, and I'm just not aware of it?
This was mentioned in another thread, but might get lost in that noise, and I believe it warrants a dedicated thread.
lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/round-robin-tournament?page=3#29
in other words, I can create the complete challenge for the player, and just send him a link to click.
This would be very nice indeed!
Yes, please! Almost exactly what I am looking for. This would solve the problem of setting up scholastic pairings for longer time controls.
Good to see there is more demand for it. It would be a great workaround for now.
Thank you @xK4LIBUR for making a separate topic.
By the way, I see it is already possible to combine multiple variables!
For example, https://lichess.org/?fen=rnbqkb1r/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKB1R%20w%20KQkq%20-%200%201&user=TacticalBert#friend,
sets up a different starting position (?fen) ánd challenges a username (?user). So that "only" needs to be extended, making e.g. timeMode, time_choice, increment_choice and color-sumbits presettable. But I know from experience it will sound easier than it is. It would be nice though!
@TacticalBert How do you find these possibilities? Trial & error?
@xK4LIBUR Well I have a little bit of experience as a web developer, so when I saw the possibility to challenge from the Board Editor (https://lichess.org/editor), I thought to give it a go with the &-sign and hurrah! So a bit of trial and error indeed, because other combinations were not successful.
@TacticalBert I wonder if https://lichess.org/api#operation/challengeCreate can be leveraged here, or is this functionality protected
@redbullet64 Great find, that would be perfect! One could say the main feature of an API is that it isn't protected(?)
@TacticalBert, right, but I wonder if is a way to form an HTTP post request given
OAuth2 auth. Not a web dev myself, so I don't know the answer. I've only played with some "get" requests, never "post".
