Hi, I have a suggestion to a new feature which can be nice, the visual rating will be the rating that all the other players would see, as it is now, but anyone would have a chance to check their profile to see the rating they would have if all of their games would have been rated. For example, if I played 20 casual games and won them all againts a very high-rated opponent it would improve my "casual rating" which only I can see but would have no affect on my normal rating. I think it would be interesting to compare how people play on rated game against casual games, especially in bullet.
Thanks for all the great work you're doing, hope you'll consider my offer! :)
This makes no sense. If you want a rating, play rated games. If you want to play a casual game, then it makes no sense to then "rate" it, because both players are playing as if it is not rated. Because it's not. If you're playing someone rated much higher than you and you beat them in a casual game, odds are it's because they weren't trying their hardest, which makes the whole idea of a rating for the game rather silly (sillier than it already inherently is in online chess, I mean).
The whole point of playing casual is that it is unrated. Like in every sport, people play "friendly", "practice", or "warm up" matches. That's the definition of "casual." You can see your head to head record against every player. All the games: casual and rated are included.
Finally I see someone using "עִבְרִית", I always contribute to translation of Lichess updates to this language.

I see what you're saying, all the point is that only you can see your casual rating, and not other people, so it's not like the normal rating. And I think I play much better at casual games, and it would be nice to compare it to rated games.
If you are curious if you perform better in unrated games you could always check it on your own, for example using a script from here:
