My big problem with lichess is that you are allowed to pick white when you set up your game request and/or if someone starts a match with you and they have black pieces they can cancel game after you make your first move with no penalty. If you query the top players games in blitz or lightning their ratio of white/black games is ridiculous.
- cristoperb 10y agoI agree it's annoying. But at least if you use the new "Quick game" pairing system there is no option to choose a color.
- dfc 10y agoSo now it's just people who quit half the quick games they start with you?
- maxmcd 10y agoThere is anti-boosting logic that disables your account if you abandon too many games
- pachydermic 10y agoI haven't encountered this problem personally. I think most people are just playing for fun not to get their number higher.
- rcthompson 10y agoMaybe they should display win rates for black and white separately. Or display the midpoint between the two (i.e. counting each color as 50% even if the number of games is different).
