Lichess is a free, open source chess server launched in 2010, and its arena tournaments introduced berserk mode as a voluntary handicap. A player who clicks the berserk button starts the game with half their original time and no increment, but earns an extra tournament point for a win. The short berserk sound became the audible cue for that decision, shared by streamers and editors outside the site as shorthand for choosing speed and risk over safety. It remains closely tied to fast online chess culture and late arena comebacks.

The short berserk mode sound from Lichess online chess, played when a player halves their clock for double points in a fast arena tournament game.
This is the brief, sharp alert that plays on Lichess when a player goes berserk in an arena tournament. It lasts just over a second, with a punchy, urgent tone that cuts through the rapid clicks of blitz and bullet chess. The sound signals a deliberate gamble: less time on the clock in exchange for a chance at double points. For viewers and opponents it instantly changes the mood of a game, turning a normal opening into a high risk sprint where one mistake can decide everything before the clock runs down.
