| Lichess Feedback - Flagging with only 1 minor piece#25 @Akbar2thegreat said in #20: > Even a complete newbie can't play that bad unless bribed. Moreover, he/she would get crushed in the opening. Now try explaining that to a computer. Any FIDE rules involv… | mcoombes314 |
| Lichess Feedback - Flagging with only 1 minor piece#13 Good point, I screwed up with the FEN..... but assuming perfect play from both sides when saying "X should automatically be a daw" is still silly IMO. I speak from experience, I've blundered away too … | mcoombes314 |

| General Chess Discussion - A real shame.#2 If you think a player is cheating, use the report function. Do not publicise your claim on the forum. Read the Forum Etiquette WHICH IS LITERALLY THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD SEE WHEN POSTING!!!! Not co… | mcoombes314 |
| Lichess Feedback - Gaining time in 1+0?#2 IIRC, games which are in progress during an update get extra time given to both players to prevent "I lost this game on time because of the restart!!!" posts. There used to be a message like "white + … | mcoombes314 |
