second one - team vs team, captured piece is going to your partner instead of opponent, you play white, your teammate - black

it could be fun and will increase interest to site
Bughouse was already requested a gazillion times.
Round Robin relies too much on everyone staying online, hence Lichess only supports Swiss.
Please read once more carefully
not the round robin as is
scheveninghen is abut team versus team and you play with each member of opposite team
Round Robin would be nice, too. For Example for Club Meetings, where you can expect people to stay online as you each other from OTB chess / real life.
@SrgRdnk that comes with the same problem as Round Robin. What if someone leaves or has to leave or disconnects etc?
@Cedur216 it can be replaced with someone from reserve on fly. Or leave it as is and lose by time
@ContainerJoe i dont think so
Its common used format, there is no big interest in it.
Proposed modes are unique in internet
Even as somenone leaves early there is no fundamental problem with round-robin. Please implement round-robin is an ideal format for in team tournaments.
