Chess.com vs Lichess


Lichess provides nearly everything that chess dot com does and is free to use. Even if you do make voluntary donation to Lichess you don't get access to anything that non paying players have. I'm going to say that if you have diamond membership here on chess dot com the overall experience is slightly superior to Lichess, but not so much as to justify the price ( others may disagree with me). Chess dot com's lessons are good but You Tube has tons of content covering it all. One area in which chess dot com beats Lichess by a long way is daily games. The community for that is much bigger here. Lichess has 10|5 as a standard time control which chess dot com refuses to have.

Chess.com refused to add 10|5 for a long time despite many requests, at the end it was added
Unfortunately there are very few players there and the last time I tried it waiting times were long. I hope it will change as it's one of my favorites time controls.

You have to click though to a sub menu that most people don't know exists. It would be my preferred control, too and in fact it was the original reason I opened an account with Lichess.
I guess there are active competitors
Chess.com vs lichess
Probably i like chess.com slightly more than lichess
Because in chess.com, you could make your own variants (btw i don't know deeply about lichess, so if you want to give me a link to lichess, well that's ok i want to explore more about lichess) but i slightly like lichess in the puzzle rush (or they call puzzle storm or whatever) because you get an increment maybe if you solve a puzzle correctly, but i wish they add the 5 min puzzle rush uhhhhh puzzle storm
