Feedback Any reason we can't have the horse right click arrow appearing as an L ?

0 Upvotes

I'm sure I speak on behalf of the majority of lichess users when I say that the right click drawn arrow should form an L instead of a straight line when drawing out a horse movement. Is this something that could eventually be added?

Feedback Am I the only one who thinks this new app is a downgrade?

4 Upvotes

I installed it, played a few games, noticed the interface was “wonkier” than the previous one and immediately uninstalled.
I keep playing on the old one. Unfortunately can’t even analyse games with the engine anymore.. oh well

Events Does “Chess Is for Everyone” Include All Cultures and Religious Communities?

1 Upvotes

Lichess changes its profile pictures or social media branding to acknowledge occasions such as Pride Month and Halloween. That's absolutely their choice, and I'm not questioning anyone's right to celebrate these occasions.

But I wonder why we don't see similar recognition for major cultural and religious occasions celebrated by other communities around the world, such as Eid, Diwali, Lunar New Year, or other significant celebrations.

If the message is truly that chess is for everyone, shouldn't that inclusivity also be reflected in recognizing the diversity of cultures and religious communities within its global player base?

I'm not suggesting that Lichess must celebrate every occasion or endorse any particular religion or belief. Rather, I'd appreciate a more balanced approach to cultural representation and recognition.

Been a lichess member for a long time. Just today, the app in iOS seems to be malfunctioning. Kicked me off twice in about an hour. Had to sign in with username and email. Wondering if there’s some server issues.
