| Lichess Feedback - Pause a game#6 Adjourning games leads to the problem that sometimes resuming the game simply doesn't happen. You have to wait until both players are online simultaneously and not currently in a game with someone els… | Brian-E  |
| Lichess Feedback - Offer abort#8 The stumbling block I see with the idea is that it is a potential source of bad feeling. A player requests an abort. The opponent will then feel under some moral pressure to accept when they would rat… | Brian-E |

| Game analysis - I resigned before move 20. I was doing just fine :(#2 I can certainly relate to resigning when I should not. One horror I played here just a couple of weeks back involved resigning because I couldn't stop the opponent promoting a pawn but failing to noti… | Brian-E |
| Game analysis - OTB against an underrated without a rating#3 To show PGN here you can use the "Import game" option under "Tools" in the menu. You can then post the link to your imported game and it will be displayed nicely: https://lichess.org/MaALC8MV EDIT: I … | Brian-E |
