My experience in the spring 2025 lichess marathon arena
Did it go well for me? Did I enjoy it? Did it go as planned? How many points and what's my finishing place.EDIT : NEXT Summer Marathon https://lichess.org/tournament/summer25
Well that was fun :)
Hi everyone here is my experience in the spring marathon. FIRST THE PICTURES :)


I did enjoy the marathon but I was hit with tiredness at the end around 2h left so I stopped. 5+0 is not my favorite TC I can't wait for the bullet marathon in 3 months.
I played 55 games got PF of 1396 and 28 points with top 25% again. It did go as planned. I think I did much better this time. 5+0 is longer and give more time for my opponents to think which is a disadvantage for me. I am trying to get better at chess.
I would recommend to get better at the marathon is to, Play strong players, Learn a ton of theory, and make sure you can play 5+0 2+0 3+0 and 1+0
The tri monthly arenas are something I look forward to.
