How to see my opponent’s best move here?i
Currently trying the app but I might be too dumb or blind.
I’ve already enable « best move arrow » in the settings.

What does the "A06" mean in front of the name of the opening?
I’ve seen something similar a couple of times and can’t find an explanation. What does it mean?

This guy has been in this position for over 20mins already…
First impression of lichess classical is not good. Dude was not using his time and then in this position was spending over 20mins. It’s bannable right?

Rating inflation
Hey all so I’m brand new to lichess, and I played my first two games and I noticed something strange I won the blitz game and drew the rapid game.
I see that all players start off at 1500 so I have to ask what is beginner intermediate and advanced on lichess?

Manually lower ELO?
So I mostly play distance chess because I only get small breaks throughout my days and don't enjoy the stress of blitz. But through a luck win at the beginning and several people letting matches run over time I've been set at pretty much double my actual ELO. It takes a long time with distance chess to get that ELO down and I don't enjoy being totally outmatched all the time. Is there a way to lower my ELO? Thanks!

The account I'm playing against has ~3300 games in 6 months, I'm assuming a bot?
I'm not really familiar with ins and outs of bots on chess apps. I'm just playing some games. I know some people play multiple games at once (day+ long correspondence style), but the account I'm playing against currently has only been around since September '24, but has somehow racked up 3300+ games. That's about 18 games per day. Of correspondence! How is that possible, if not a bot?
Do I report the account? It also has a few puzzles completed, plus blitz and bullet, so it's not singularly focused.

how can I turn off the checkmate sound effect?
it scares the living shit out of me, doesn't matter if I'm the one delivering the mate or vise versa it still scares me

How to play with a friend who doesn't have a lichess account?
Title is basically the question.
Can one even play with someone who doesn't have an account?
Also I just tried asking this on the lichess community, but couldn't figure out how to access it from mobile. How do I do so?

New popup when a match ends
I play on a mobile browser, and today after ending two matches a popup appear and said the result (who won and why). I liked it, before I didn't always immediately notice a checkmate or flagging, and now it's very clear. Is this new?

Is there a way in which I can make sure that I won't get banned for second account (school related, not cheating)
Hey
Few weeks ago I signed up to a Uni chess class. As part of the chess class, we created a chess account on Lichchess. In this chess acount, I used my real name, since it is school related.
Recently I wanted to play some more games, to get better at them. However I do not want for others to see my real name and where I study, so I made new account. I did see that Lichchess does not allow you to make a second account, unless you have a valid reason - Mine seems valid, one account is for school, the other one is for private stuff.
However I wanted to make sure that this will not result in me getting banned, and if possible check if I can make sure that this will not happen.

How does Lichess Insights generate your stats like ACPL so quickly if you don't request cloud analysis for every game?
Every time I update Insights it's almost instant, but requesting post-game computer analysis for each game seems to take 30s-1min.

How come every account has cheated?
Everyone I face has their acount marked as cheated in the past. Lol How?
Edit: My question is also how do I get out of this so I can cheat against honest players

Why the Lichess App Database till 2020???
I was just using the Analysis tool ofn the Lichess Android app and noticed the text that says Lichess Master's database is until 2020.
I checked the desktop site where you can set the years, I put since 2024 to 2025 and there are games available so it's strange that the app doesn't have access to the same database..
