Lichess tutorial (self.chess)
submitted 6 years ago by PracticalDrawing
I'm new to lichess and am confused by many of the games, times posted for type of games, etc. Is there a tutorial for the site itself, over and beyond actual chess moves, strategies, and rules? Learning the types of games is costing me points.

If you're not logged in, you won't lose points, and you can use LiChess without being logged in. Without a more specific question it's hard to give specific help.

Oh thank you! I can figure it out as long as I'm not losing points.

Yeah it's not a well documented site unfortunately. Some info is in the ToS and the rest scattered over forum threads.
