Lichess vs chess.com

I can somewhat understand you do not want to play people from Russia right now, but what's wrong with people from France and India?

chess.com has fun features like video lessons while you can play stockfish 14, but you can adapt its level.

Same. 👍

Chess,com has brighter colours and prettier graphics. It is much gayer.

Come on now

Hi!

I prefer lichess.

Shocked to see lichess players coming.

I love chess.com too but..

Hello snowy

Hi felix!

In Lichess, arena games do not abort. I would have liked to have this one finish.

Good game, that would have been frustrating to be in that scenario.

I want people to be kind to both platforms. If people hate not just give their opinion then I will take this post down.

Lichess UI is more responsive on my mobile devices, so use it for bullet chess on the go. The studies feature is also great. I use both and don't feel like there needs to be a versus -situation. The forums on both are filled with equally inane topics.

I think there is a place in the world for both. Chess.com is a more premium experience. The lessons/videos are good quality.

I recommend Lichess to my students since it has many of the same basic lessons, is ad-free, and I can create studies analyzing their games much more easily.

I play chess at these sites:
chess.com, lichess, gameknot, chesstempo, and queenalice

I don't have a favourite or preferred chess platform. I can barely even play chess well. But I just commented to say the cat in your profile pic is incredibly cute.😍😺

Would you mind telling us his/her name?

P.S. -- Chess.com is way better than Lichess.

I’ve played on all of those and more. Queen Alice had some nice features. I don’t understand how GameKnot still attracts so many members with so many better possibilities. I had quit playing there in favor of ChessWorld and Red Hot Pawn until chessdotcom came into existence. After about a year on this site, I stopped playing on RHP. I continued at CW for a couple more years, then cut the number of my correspondence games under 10 and played those only here.
