I want to create another account to participate in tournaments. This account will be my main account and that new one is the tournament account. Is that allowed? If no, I will not create.
Please answer
Thx

this may not be allowed, and one of your accounts will be closed.

Maybe allowed, not sure, this is what it says in the ToS.

Multiple accounts - Having more than one account is not allowed, barring specific circumstances. For example, titled players are automatically entitled to one "public" account, for play in certain prize events hosted either by Lichess or another tournament organiser, and one "private" account, for casual play online whilst still displaying their titled status. Untitled players can create a second account for similar reasons, with some examples including having a private account to hide opening preparation, playing "blindfold" games, or playing games with any other self-imposed impairment. Creating an excessive number of accounts (typically any more than three) will generally not be allowed, regardless of reasons. Creating and closing multiple accounts will also be treated as contributing to this maximum number. As with all other rules, the specific circumstances where multiple accounts are allowed remain at Lichess' discretion.

How does lichess even distinguish between a family who use the same IP/Devices (MAC address) and open up two accounts for two distinct family members?
