Guys, you can make Computer's analysis of your games as many times as you want.

And it all for free... there.

Thanks to the people who made this "other"  соmpeting site.

Lichess and Chess.com are both great sites.

I'm sure most regular players visit both sites often. 

Agreed.

Wrong.

We really need to stop having this argument. You can make an argument for both sites, but neither site is inherently "better." In the end, they are both websites where people can play and watch chess, and that's what matters happy.png.

lichess is so much better yes

only reason to stay on chess dot com is the forums

playing is 100000 times better on lichess

because lichess have better server

lichess have better interface

lichess cater to better audience

lichess >>>>>>>>>>> chess dot com

 

I literally made a comment on why we should stop this argument, are you kidding me?

BishopTakesH7

And by stop, I mean stop saying either site is better than the other one. It's not like these sites have to be "bitter rivals" or something.

BishopTakesH7

See my last three comments here please, I just said we need to stop arguing over this.

BishopTakesH7

Yeah, see, neither site is inherently better, they both have drawbacks and benefits.

They don't have daily chess leaderboard which is odd and only the top 200 get put in a visible leaderboard.

Chess.com all the way for me!

chess.com

+ forum, news, blogs
+ daily chess - tournaments, national team league, thematic tournaments, ...
+ analyse of game
+ mobile app
+ national matches
+ chess variants, bughouse
+ better selection of chess puzzles, puzzle rush and matches, 
+ computer opponents
+ lessons
+ stats

lichess.org

+ better technology for chess board and playing (but a lot of years was not possible change size of board)
+ a little bit better chess opening browser
+ API
+ create own tournaments (swiss, arena, team arena)

Nice comparison, but let me add some things, in bold.

+ API
+ create own tournaments (swiss, arena, team arena)

+ game analysis

+ lessons, that are basically just drills except with explanations

+ insights(I can't remember what they are called there)

+ stockfish, though it doesn't have custom playing styles like aggressively attacking with the queen, or playing defensively.

+ variants

 

 

TLDR: Both sides have benefits. In summary, chess.com has more forum topics, more news, blogs, and computer opponents with custom styles. lichess has many chess.com features, but free, which is why so many people like it I'm assuming that's part of it.

- "Another thing that has escaped your notice, товарищ korotky_trinity, is even more amazing: That, although Romans ... ehm ... Lichess has lots of talents, there is not one among them called Gisgo... oh I mean korotky_trinity" That is what Hanibal Barca would have said if you were Gisgo at the battle of Cannae...

To me chess.com will always be better than lichess.

The only plus I can give lichess is the user opening database. This is very useful, would be nice if chess.com could somehow implement something like this.
