Although there are cheaters in every site, cheaters on yahoo normally had very high ratings. As I was a mere beginner, I didn't have to worry about cheating that way. If you were truly that strong where you were allowed to be play against high rated yahoo players with colors red, then you must be a very strong player.
Chess.com or Lichess?

Lichess:
- Completely free.
- Can play unlimited games (against bots and humans) and puzzles (Streak, Storm, Racer and Daily Puzzle).
- Has a lot of learning material with basic tools like an analysis board.
- Has a fair community.
- Has Insights with less information.
- Way less customizable.
Chess.com:
Free:
- Needs a paid subscription for all tools.
- Has ads.
- Allows Unlimited games.
- Allows 1 game review per day
- Has basic analysis tools.
- Allows 5 puzzles per day.
Paid:
- Contains the benefits (only) of the free version with:
- Unlimited Puzzles with (Rush, Battle and Daily Puzzle).
- Also has lot of learning material with more tools like game review which includes practice puzzles and key concepts for you to learn and also highlights the mistakes and helps you to see where you've gone wrong.
- Has Insights about a lot of information.
General Differences (advantages): - Chess.com has way more customizability. The page is up to your creativity (From the background, to profile picture, to board, to pieces. You can even set up your home display page in your desired fashion).
- Chess.com has more settings. For example: A blocked members page, A following members page.
- Allows connected account (very handy feature).
- Allows more ways to connect (socially).
- Has chess.com Beta.
- Chess.com has a standard way of catching cheaters. Although the site is full of them they probably won't last long. However on lichess, even if there are cheaters, they could stay for a long time.
Your forgetting the fact that even though cheaters "stay longer " lichess puts them in a cheater pool
Your also forgetting that lichess has overall less cheaters than chess.com
Yes, Lichess does have less cheaters but, the tools for finding them out isn't that advanced.
In chess.com Game review can easily highlight the accuracy, good moves and everything you would need to know but on lichess you don't have those options. Only a analysis board. How would moderators manually check each game or make a bot to find out cheaters?
And how would that ever be efficient for the cheaters now who don't always play the best move?

All the comments on Yahoo chess are good but maybe we should remove it from our talk?

I would always say chess.com but after losing my last two games because chess.com randomly disconnects me while I have perfect connection to the website (only disconnect from the game itself) I might just move to lichess tbh.
That's a server issue the servers probably laggy on your end(or chess.coms ) even if the connection is fine thats mostly why I only play bullet on lichess the occasional 3 second lagg spike
nice
lol
it does not have variants on mobile???

I started using Lichess for bullet, but I don't like the fact that you can't customize the board. Not enough contrast for me.

For me they aren't i get 1800-2200s all the time in arena pairings if you get like top 10-30 it should be consistant
But if your 2500+ they are probably too lol but you can always practice your speed and berserk even if they are too low

I’ve run Arena tournaments on Lichess for groups of students and had more than half of the students waiting to get paired.
I’ve played in tournaments with 1000 participants and waited five minutes for a pairing.
Neither of these things happen on chessdotcom where I’ve rarely had to wait twenty seconds for a game.
