Chess.com or Lichess?

it does not have variants on mobile???

i like chess and lichess

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.

lichess because its free

Also better puzzles and a cleaner arena system

hi moi parler ffrancais

Chess.com.

Lichess Arena pairings are too slow.

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.

True the pairings can be a bit slow though I have never had an issue where it took longer than a minute to two

If you actually look for good arenas on chess.com they are better though more at risk of getting things like cheaters than lichess

hmm...

99% Chess.com and 1% Lichess (Lichess could get high elo easily)

I overall like chess.com more. But there are many cool features that lichess provides and chess.com doesn't (ex.takebacks). Even though, I use both.

Chess. Com

I see many complaints about the rating difference. You all should understand that your online rating is as fake as your online girlfriend/boyfriend. They are not real and your online rating does not matter on either site.
