Chess.com VS. Lichess: The Truth
Hello Everyone! For background I've been using Chess.com regularly for about 6 months. I got a gold membership about two months ago and have been enjoying the features. But one day not too long ago I thought "How is Lichess different than Chess.com and which one is better?" If you're reading this I assume your thinking the same thing. Well I've done my research and have one thing to say "Chess.com is like apple and Lichess is like android." Both think there superior to the other and are always competing. Chess.com has more features and is more aesthetically pleasing, While Lichess is more barebones and has less features than chess.com. Lichess is FREE and has more features than the free version of Chess.com. Chess.com lets you have all its features with its subscriptions which range from $50-120 per year. Although chess.com is more expensive it also is a more social and used website. Chess.com last year in December 2022 Chess.com has 276.1 million visits while Lichess had 100.7 million visits. This means you would be able to find a game far quicker on Chess.com rather than Lichess. Chess.com also has lessons, News/blogs, clubs, and a massive amount of variations you can play with switch rules from chess. All together Chess.com has more features and is a better experience all together. For more chess go to my account. I'm open to any talks and would enjoy playing a game with you. What's the best time control? Tell me in the comments
