Both. But in Chess.com you can see tournaments and can game review. However, lichess.org follow FIDE rules, and chess.com follows US Chess Federation Rules
cool
No they don’t either. I’ve been there since they’ve existed and never saw an engine user get banned or refunded ratings. Here is a dif story
Hey, anyone remember yahoo chess? I started out using yahoo chess. Then moved on to chess.com. Currently I am using lichess because it is more cell phone friendly. But if I had a regular computer both sites would be good.

Yahoo chess had a terrible design. I played six games there.
Before chessdotcom had live, ICC, Playchess, and even FICS (a free server) were the places to play. Chessdotcom solved the problems of making live chess work on a website. Before then, quality play was available only through servers.
Yahoo Chess had so many flaws ... but it had one thing that I liked: public tables.
In the Social Lounge, there was often a 2-minute table set up by one of the regulars. Players would hang out there, and take turns playing, watching, and chatting. Winner stays seated. The loser vacates the other seat and becomes one of the watchers, while the next person in line sits.
It was quite fun. Probably the only thing I miss about Yahoo Chess ...
Yahoo chess was fun. I remember as your rating got higher it would be associated by a certain color. With my current skills I wonder how I would fare if I were to go back in time and go on Yahoo. Yes, there were regulars. And a public chat. I think red meant you were a strong player. There was a lot of intense rivalries among the Yahoo greats. Reputations. It was fun. Too bad I was a beginner at that time. They took out yahoo so I was forced to go to chess.com. It is interesting to see how chess.com evolved.
Yahoo Chess popped up in the late 90s, when the internet was still relatively new. The Yahoo! page was one of the few main websites of the internet, in the beginning ...
They had a Games section with different games for people to play socially, like Checkers, Chess, Billiards, etc ...

Lichess UI is terrible, can't see anything there.
Also, 300/400 more points for everyone.

Try dark mode... Lichess is pretty dark so it might not work well for some people it works fine for me

What is yahoo chess? Never heard of it

Old site. Describes what I wrote above in greater detail.
Yahoo.chess and Pogo predated the current chess sites. They were notorious for having cheaters. Players could set it up so that their chess programs would play their games. In those days, the programs were not very good and could not compete at a fast time control—say, four minutes or less. I used to play a lot of speed games and I could tell when a new chess program came out, because I had to move to a faster time control. Eventually, the profs became good enough so that they could win the bullet games. At that point, I left that site.
Um no
