I have an account in Lichess and Chess.com. And my experience is that there are much better players in Chess.com. Probably because Chess.com has more chess players and people who pay to play chess, spend more time and effort to getting better at chess.
is premium worth it?
Sort:
Do you pay and what level?
No one can decide but you if it's worth it. Do you have the time and motivation to take advantage of premium features? And of course, to cite an extreme example, can you afford it or is paying the rent each month a bit of a crisis? I'm not rich by any means but I think the $100 a year I pay for diamond is well worth it. My rating doesn't reflect it because I'm old, but I do 5 or 10 lessons almost every day. Diamond is the only level that lets you do that many.
It's only worth it if you're going to be able to a ton of lessons, otherwise gold is more than enough for the casual player. I'm a diamond member but I do a lot of lessons almost everyday and They're really good for players up to 2000 I'd say (I'm around 900 Rapid)
For anyone that has signed up, do you think it’s worth it and if so what level would you recommend?
Is there a lot of difference to Lichess?
