Hello,
I sometimes get caught in endless bullet sessions, with negative consequences for me, and I think I'm far from being the only one from what I can see on this great website. Bullet is very addictive, I guess it's because of the very regular dopamine "shots" you get, like many Internet.
The consequences of too much bullet are quite heavy :
- the player's chess gets worse (loss of deep-calculation and planning capacity)
- the impact of too much dopamine on the brain are very severe (especially on kids)
- and there's an impact on the player's personnal life, like for every addiction
I'd like to propose some new features to mitigate this.
- extend the lobby's option to disable bullet challenges => on hope page, bullet tournaments would not appear in "open tournaments" , 1+0 would be disabled in "quick pairings", and in "Play => Arena tournaments" bullet tournaments would be disabled / invisible.
- create an option to disable the "rematch" button for bullet. Or to only enable it if the opponent proposes a rematch. Or to enable it only after a few seconds to prevent compulsive clicking (the "7-second rule")
Hope the Lichess developpers will read this now :-)
Best regards
