You Don't Get to Know Who Won the Titled Arena, Sorry.

let them be anonymus. IMO, it adds some extra spice to Titled Arenas. It's enough that Lichess verified they are titled, no need for the public to know exactly who they are if they don't wish to reveal it.

I want GM HamDAN09 to win

Not again..... LOL 😕😕😕

I'm sorry but I don't understand why these players need to remain anonymous. If it were an over the board tournament then they would be required to reveal their identity - indeed it would be impossible to hide it. Why then should they not be identified for an online tournament. In my opinion a lack of transparency and accountability for one's actions in the digital world is the reason why we are struggling so much with online abuse and trolling and bullying etc.

I am of course not suggesting that any of these anonymous GMs indulge in such practices but the principle is the same. If you aren't prepared to be identified as yourself on line then perhaps you shouldn't be online.

If someone can provide a good reason why these players should have anonymity then I'd be very prepared to hear it, and, in the interests of supporting my own point I'll say that my name is Dave Shapland! :)

What stream? Can I get the link?

@inter_mezzo yes you are right.

Please let people be anonymous if they choose so. Lichess has done right all important things not only regarding chess. I strongly think it would be against the spirit of freedom that brought this place to where it is now. Anyway: Thank you Thibault for this.

@kjf why do people need to be anonymous? I can't think of any reason why they'd need to be.
