for now there is still a lot that needs to be addressed from the inside if you want to be better from an external point of view,, homework such as tournament results errors,, the introduction of how to get a title in liches for members not many understand,, meaning it is better to fix it internally first rather than contemplating for outside liches.
Chess dot biz lost me a long time ago. Also, congrats to the new world champ.
LOL, some user take it seriously, it's just a sarcastic post to mock Chess.com
how about a candidates tournament where us non titled players can compete to play in the world championship? I'm not a titled player but would love the chance to play for a world championship.
Better call it Lichess World Blitz Chess Championship
Only thing I've got to say, is that I feel it'll be better if you make the world championship tournament more participating, there are a lot of very good untitled players out there, especially at speed chess, with many also outmatching titled players, you could open it up to a particular rating category, but making it only titled players, you going to be excluding a lot of very good players, this is my opinion though, and I hope it'll be considered.
Are there serious points to this though?
1. Do Titled Arenas now exclude NMs without OTB FIDE titles?
2. May 8th is a Sunday in the US at least; are Titled Arenas moving from Saturday to Sunday?

Thats what i think too. Imagine an WCM can take part cause she is tilted ... and a Lichessplayer with 2800 in Blitz (ex @Fritzi_2003) cant cause we have Corona and he didnt had the chance to get an OTB title ...
And an Arena isnt the best to do it. To keep it halfways serious do a "swiss tournament"

From now on, we should just call Titled Arena winners "World Champions" for giggles.
