Chess.com vs Lichess

Sort:

Hello,

I have been playing on chess.com for a little over a year, and purchased a platinum membership some time ago. I was wondering if there were any benefits that Lichess offers, which are better than chess.com platinum features. I will probably stay on chess.com, but I might give Lichess a try for a little if these benefits exist.

-Thanks

Just be warned:the only thing I understand how to do on lichess is how to launch a game.

Wits-end

The platforms seem to have many differences. You'll really just need to try L out for yourself. I play on both with enjoyment. For me, the main difference is that i have more "wins" due to opponents timing out. Probably a few more instances of aborted games on L as well, but these are out of our control. I'd simply say enjoy each for what they offer.
