Chess.com:

Chess.com is the most popular and personally my favourite chess website out there. It was launched in 2005, and since then, chess.com has been releasing content and improving its features.

Chess.com is a robust chess platform, whether you are trying to improve at the game or just trying to have a good time. Every chess player, no matter the strength, may find useful its many playing, training, and entertaining features.

Pros:

  1. Great UI
  2. Good Analysis
  3. Great Bots
  4. Good Training/Practice Features

Cons:

  1. Tournament broadcast, shows, video library are tailored to lower-rated players
  2. Membership

Chess24:


If you are into chess openings, Chess24 is the perfect website for you. They have opening files (E-books), which are similar to what a grandmaster has in his or her computer with analysis and interesting ideas in the opening. These files can be downloaded in PGN so that you can modify and store them in the database software of your preference.

Pros:

  1. Video Library
  2. Shows
  3. E-books
  4. Top Broadcasting

Cons:

  1. Insufficient Playing Interface
  2. Tactics Trainer
  3. Pricing

Lichess.org:

Lichess.org is one of the favourite internet chess servers of the chess community. The server and mobile app are open source and survive from volunteers and donations (it is entirely free). According to its about page, Lichess.org officially started in 2010 by Thibault Duplessis. It slowly improved since then to become one of the best chess websites out there.

As of today, Lichess.org users play more than a million games a day. If you are familiar with the platform, you might recall watching several super grandmasters, including Magnus Carlsen playing online every so often. Even though it is entirely free, it competes against chess.com and Chess24 due to its interface and comprehensive features.


Pros:

  1. Minimalist Playing Interface
  2. Tactics Trainer
  3. Analysis
  4. Mobile Lichess Design
  5. Offline Design
  6. Lichess is 100% Free!

Cons:

  1. No Articles Provided
  2. Video Library
