I don't understand why Lichess is so unattractive for correspondence chess players?!
There is no way that you can take part in correspondence chess tournaments. These are offered within individual clubs, but the results are either managed by dedicated members on external sites or the games are laboriously checked for results and counted manually.
Here in the forum the topic has already been discussed that there should be the possibility of round robin tournaments (lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/idea-create-tournaments-all-against-all). Especially in correspondence chess it is a very attractive form of tournament, as all games are played simultaneously.
The possibility of team matches has also been discussed (lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/team-matches-in-live-and-correspondence-chess). After all, this is the classic form of play in OTB team games. It would open up the possibility for leagues, which have not been practically realisable so far because of the immense effort involved.
Correspondence chess can only be played here simply, there is not even a ranking list (lichess.org/player).
It would be nice if if possible someone responsible here could give a reason why correspondence chess is so little supported. I think speaking on behalf of all correspondence chess players, there is a great desire for various tournaments in this form of play.
Please don't misunderstand me! Lichess is quite a wonderful place to play chess! But for me as a correspondence chess player it is not very attractive at the moment. Is there a chance for change...???
