This section is speculative, but several factors likely influence a grandmaster’s platform choice. Chess.com hosts frequent events like Titled Tuesday, along with stream-friendly formats and prize competitions.
In contrast, Lichess offers a more minimalist interface and is speed-focused. Even Hikaru himself said that playing “feels a lot faster [on Lichess] than on Chess.com” (source: Twitch Clip), which may explain its appeal to players who prefer Bullet games.
