Chess.com because lichess is cheap and rely on donations, meaning they can't buy proper cheat detecting. So when one of my friends reported me as a joke because I kept winning against him, and the next day I saw my account has been closed for 'cheating'. I message them and asked them why, but they replied in a week saying they are correct and this conversation is now over. That is why I hate lichess. Also, you have to prove you're not a bot for every comment you make, you can't invite people to clubs, and I would write way more but unfortunately I don't have the time. People might like lichess of chess.com because of the memberships but It's worth the money with the daily puzzles, tactics, lessons, videos, clubs, and more.

I agree. Lichess is untrustworthy if it is about fair play. I

Lichess is way more smooth and chess.com has more features

but its impossible to play bullet on chess.com

so lichess is better

I disagree. Lichess is not as popular as Chess.com. And now you can play Bullet! I have to disagree to your comment.

no lichess is a app for chess players but chess.com is a app for money and btw cheat detection is AMAZING so probably ur saying because u cheated or u lied

What are you talking about? The same happened to me and I did not even cheat! I have to disagree with you.

For my needs, Lichess suits me more. I can create studies and use the opening explorer of master, other, and my games. I'm surprised chess.com doesn't allow this. I have heard that chess.com is better for the Holy Gambit Grail as it will be able to find all your games you won with a certain gambit.

Chessdotcom does allow this. I use it often. The difference is that Lichess includes the aggregate of all Lichess players, which is most useful when you want to study egregious errors. With chessdotcom, you can look at masters or at any specific player. The site more than likely is too large for what Lichess does. Lichess has maybe 5% as many games.

Lichess studies is a terrific feature wholly lacking at chessdotcom.

Comparisons are useful, but I agree with you. Both sites have their merits. That’s why I’m a premium member here and a patron there.

Their master database is much better and I also like looking at what other players are playing in certain positions. The Holy Gambit Grail is a lot easier to prepare on Lichess when you can see what other opponents have played and try to find traps to win with horrible gambits

I like only chess.com because
I don’t know how to pronounce Lichess

if you say chess.com on lichess forums, they will explode with "chess.com sucks"

So I agree that the forums here are better
