Correspondance Chess

I want to play. Its a honor for me to play against you.

It is a great pleasure that you allowed correspondence, now I can do all my playing at lichess.

I realize that it is beta now, and takes time to fully develop, but one feature is badly missing: go to next pending game. This is the most basic feature that even a minimal correspondence application should have.

wow.

I second this.

well it's done already.

I like this solution for pending games. You get a menu of six pending games below the current game. This lets you pick the ones with easy moves ( forced moves, book moves, obvious moves, already calculated lines ), and leave the few difficult ones which require thinking to the end. This is better than the purely sequential 'go to next game' method. Well done.

This is great!

How do you get to start a correspondence game? I mean when I seek one, and I want to play a blitz game in the mean time, my seek is lost. If I logout while waiting (because I my find an opponent after 3 hours), the seek is gone.

Elrond, you are right. Challenges should be handled separately from live challenges. I did not mention this problem because lichess is very liquid and you can get a game very quickly, so this is much less of a problem ( at least for me ) than if you can't access your pending games directly after making a move ( which has been fixed very elegantly ). But it is still a slight problem, so I agree that the next thing on the to do list is to fix this.

Minor bug: when I seek a Chess960 correspondence game, my live Chess960 rating is displayed in the seek, but when the game starts, my correspondence rating is displayed. This is a problem because one's live and correspondence rating may differ quite a lot and one may not find the right opponent this way. ( An also acceptable solution would be that all Chess960 ratings are the same, including correspondence. ).
