yes they can do like one day for USA and one day for us. but i think lichess follows GMT

So all guys I'd prove, do you see many Asians play at Elite, Monthly, Yearly events? Nope! The worst is China! Really, guys you don't know but I'm Chinese, it's... 100%... and all, I mean all 100% of important tournaments are starting when we're sleeping... That's so... unfair. ;( But still thanks to Lichess for this Chess Community! ;)
P.S. We're having new year now so 新年快乐 for everyone! ;)

+1 from Tokyo. There should be two Weekly/Monthly/Elite tournamens, one for the Western and another for the Eastern.
@WildTreeNymph Yes! Even though i can manage to play at night , sacrificing sleep is something i cant afford for chess. Tournaments start at 11PM at India and even though if lichess cant change entirely, atleast we must have the chance to play half i.e it can start around 2-3 hours before.

Yes but the thing is we can't change that... Lichess controls it... we need more people to chat so Lichess will take notice! I'll mention thibualt to get his attention.
@thibault @nojoke Please! Change! Thanks and we still love Lichess! ;)

I think that's an exaggeration. Surely, more than 1/100,000th of a person doesn't mind playing chess in the wee hours. I do sometimes, so there's proof enough already. :-P

A glance at the calendar is enough to grasp how unfair it is. lichess.org/tournament/calendar

yes exactly this is not fair for Asians for us to play we have to stay up till 2 am or sometimes even 3 am to play these tournaments
if not all of them then atleast make 50 percent in our time and 50 percent in USA time so it would be fair because almost 70 percent of lichess users are in asia
