should I be playing on chess.com or lichess? which one has more accurate ELO system, which one has better puzzles, more services, etc.

Lichess is better in every way except the mobile app.

Games are better on lichess and the GUI isn't built to market to children

Against forum rules to discuss other chess sites. Maybe you should read the rules before posting.

Your wish. Both are great.

Wow...I love internet forum censorship. A safe place for people to discuss what's on their mind, as long as it doesn't have anything that might detract from chess.com's bottom line. Their right, but that's some low rent bullshit

I prefer chess.com. Especially for its bots to play against (Play -> Computer), and its Practice section (Learn -> Practice), which I use for opening training.

I dabble on lichess, here and there ... but I enjoy chess.com more.

lichess because of the rules

Lichess because it has a seperate category for slow games.

This site classes everything from 10/0 to 60/0 as rapid, so the ratings are quite meaningless.

My huge wrong with lichess.org, that you can only see your rating if you're playing, and you can't show your IM, FM, CM, WIM, WGM or GM title.


So chess.com is more better!

Why would showing your chess title matter in the least, unless it's just an ego thing... That's confusing

Wrong. The forum is paid for and run by chess.com. So long as they host it, they run it.

maybe try both out for a bit and see for yourself. But you do have a diamond membership so it would seem to be a waste to leave here for lichess.

Good point, I'll keep playing on chess.com.

chess.com is 100x better if you have premium, becoz of the high quality, carefully curated lessons from masters, excellent analysis etc, lichess is better than the free version of chess.com, but i prefer chess.com since i have been playing on it since a long time, but for lessons i use lichess study section
