The fact that people argue about UI , but completely ignore the fact that Chess.com literally costing people games due to bad connection. I've played over 250 games on lichess since i left chess.com ... My connection hasn't been dropped once.

lichess because:

1. Ads,I'm a kid and don't have money and chess.com just want to gan money and that really stinks because I offen get distracted.

2. Lag,I mean it is not chess.com fault but it always lags cause to many player

3. cheating,chess.com has a lot of cheating because they just lazy and don't band them self's

4. You need to pay money,like why I want to do puzzles and I can't because I need to pay money

@stanleythesmartkid it is chess.com issue. I have great connect and always get 4 green bars. In bullets I get dropped every other game it seems, also the type of disconnect where they cant' even detect that connection was dropped and you just sit there for 5 minutes guessing is it you or opponent. That is definitely on chess.com

stanleythesmartkid

so do you prefer lichess or chess.com

lichess is technically far better than chess.com, but chess.com is far more live: people here actively chat, post in forums etc unlike lichess where you feel like you are in the middle of some graveyard

lichess is better since the puzzle themes page is great

See chessdotcom’s themes: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/learning

Even so, Lichess offers a greater variety of themes, such as tactics in specific openings.

Lichess is better just because it has a separate rating category for classical time control.

Chess.com is 1000 times better than lichess.They have better lessons.In lichess,we do all moves at once.Chess.com is clearly better. Plus we can create clubs in chess.com . Do you know taht I am the owner of nine clubs in chess.com? This is why chess.com is better.

During COVID, my local chess club continued meeting at our regular time in a club that I created on Lichess.

We have a club, here, too.
