RE: Reminder: Round 5 of the Hivechess Tournament S13 , Friday 19h GMT

Good ! I wlll be in!
What about surrender from first move to much stronger opponent with difference in ELO > 300 ?
Lichess has problems with honest pairing and those who has rating > 2000 have beneft when they play against players with < 1600 rating.

That's why it can be better for weeker player to give up at once against some GM in order to have time (and possibility to win points) with almost equal by ELO opponent. With those who has not > 200 points advantage in rating.

So, the question is : Will the early surrender be also punished?

No, this is not foreseen currently.
But I don´t recommend it, it is always good to try to play them. If you, after each loss, can identify just one mistake you made and try to not make it next time, your play will for sure improve over time!

I think it's best to still try, you never know you may shock the opponent, or at least learn something new.

I think lichess will send warning if you surrender more games - they will ask for reason

The reason is quite simple - lichess bug in parings in tournaments. But anyway I took decision to not give up)
