  <p>&quot;We don't have correspondence leaderboards because it's impossible to accurately monitor for cheating. While player behaviors are analyzable and somehow predictable in timed games, go figure what happens when a player spends 24h between two moves.&quot;</p>

  <p>However, that solution is not working anymore. In my perspective, things have changed and lichess.org is allowing correspondence chess, but a ranking does not exist anymore. Is there a way to be certain about this topic?</p>
  <p>Also, why lichess.org is treating correspondence chess differently, if that is the case? I am guessing  that is difficult to control who is cheating and who is not. In the past I used to play correspondence chess, but I am playing classic games now. According lichess.org classic are games that each side has 30 minutes or more for the entire game. Correspondence chess you have 1 day per move or more. Chess.com calls correspondence daily chess.</p>
