You gave in! :(
Nevermind, I think this is a good thing to have; though I hope cheat detection will prevail in it. Have you got some new systems or methods in place for it?
Correspondence in the modern day is full of engine users. It is sad, but it is almost unavoidable.
I think it all comes down to what you want to take away from it. If you do the analysis yourself without aid, it really improves your chess. If you choose to use aids for every move, you may gain a lot of rating points, but it is a completely worthless endeavour.
I plan to do the former.
And thanks a lot ornicar for this wonderful feature! :)
I won't be playing rated games in correspondence, unless they're against friends. You know, so they won't cheat! ;)
Anyway, I've wanted this feature for a while, and I'm glad it's finally here. Thanks, Thibault.
Once again, lichess constantly improving and upgrading - something it's competitors no longer really do in lieu of pasting more adverts or paying more GMs to play there...
Correspondence Chess is one elements of this game but...
All Professional Players use Chessengines,
For a strong Players game involves the analysis of the game of chess programs and selecting the best move,looking for the power of the engines and their effectiveness,
For begginers and middle Players, use a Chessprogram is
self-deception,is not important for the progress of Their game of chess
Now is the question, Is it possible to use help of the chess program?,
Is needed Lichess Wiki for this variant of Chess,
Is it good? Good, provided that it will not interfere with other variants of Chess on this site
No, usage of a chess engine is not allowed in correspondence chess.
Only exception is casual game (not rated) if your opponent agrees before game start.
Aha,Guys,
One feature for Correspondent Chess,
You have to add the information-example-
"Clarkey made a move",
It's important for Players,
In this moment I know that I have on example 1 day for my next move,
This may be an icon near Inbox,Pending Challenges
Maybe in other than orange colour
Thanks a lot for this feature
1- rating system doesn't seem to worok. everyone is stuck at 1500
2- would be cool if you could add "correspondence" in the filter options
3/ would be cool if you could add "correspondence" in the tournament options
I fixed the rating thing 30 minutes ago. Features will be added progressively, this is just the beginning!
1. Rating system should be fixed now. A patch was just released.
2. Correspondence filter option will be made available along with A LOT of other functionality. So if you're waiting on a feature that you're used to elsewhere, we're getting to it.
3. Tournaments will need a bit of consideration.
Rzen, I believe the intention is to move "Your move" notifications to the Pending Challenges drop down.
