WHERE'S MY TROPHY??!!!!!

ok, I finally won so give me my profile trophy already!!



thnx

Good job on your tournament victory. I don't think that they put tournament victory trophies on players pages with some exceptions. Marathons, for instance, there may be other exceptions but I think it's only marathon. Titled Arena doesn't even give a trophy.

This is Magnus Carlsen's lichess account.
@DrNykterstein

This is an example of Magnus winning a titled arena (Much tougher tourney than you won) Even he did not get a trophy for this. lichess.org/tournament/may19lta

So if they aint giving Magnus, the world champion, any trophies for winning a number of titled arena's... I don't think you got much of a shot of getting a trophy for some under 1700 tourney.

Thanks, it was a great feeling to finally win one. I never even placed before today. Things just seemed to all line up :). I guess you're right about the trophies. After having looked at @penguingim1 and seeing the stacks and stacks of shining trophies on his profile it just seemed like they did. Cheers.

In which cases Lichess gives you a trophy?

Click on this guys profile link.
@penguingim1

Then you can mouseover some of his trophies to see what they are for.

The only tournaments that give you trophies are shield tournaments (lichess.org/tournament/shields) and marathons.

Marathons are 4 times a year, and give you trophies for top 100, top 50, top 10, etc. (unless something has changed in recent months).

Good information @V1chess , btw,
what's a shield? lol
Lichess as good as it is could really use a better help systelm.
I've no idea what shields are. and not a hint of an explanation on that page you linked.

ok, I found a blog post about it from 2017
lichess.org/blog/Wh36WiQAAMMApuRb/introducing-shield-tournaments

shield tournaments give you a shield to try and capture. The winner of the shield tournament will keep the shield until the next shield tournment. They have it for different variants.

Yup. So all I have to do is become better than the hundreds of thousands of chess enthusiasts that use Lichess and never let up to have one of those trophies. Simple.
I wonder if I might have some chance in the marathon. How many people could possibly be willing to fry their brain for a day with no sleep.
