Also rating system is very different on both sites.

Lichess - if you ONLY have a knight left you win, when your opponent runs out of time!

Chess.com - draw same scenario

That's just one example

For me, chess.com purely for the fact that you can reset your account. If Lichess let you did this, or if chess.com prevented that then I'd play on lichess

what is resetting your account?

Chess.com has limited puzzles, a better premoving system, better analysis with membership, more bots, more social stuff, and more people. Lichess is completely free, has more puzzles, and has studies.

IMO... can't prove it, Less cheaters on LIchess . Chess,com attracts for some reason more cheaters.

Then over at Lichess, you can tell when Chess.com does a mass ban ... the level of cheating sky rockets... It's like they don't believe they can get caught twice

To me the reason Chess.com possiblt attracts more cheaters is that, while the Chess.com Fair play team is excellent at ensuring that they ban accurately (i.e. pretty wel- false positive free), they are obsessed with it. So, it takes ages for them to feel safe in banning someone, except if the blatant cases,

That said, if peolpe continue to cheat Chess.com will nail them.

Only trouble is, it takes ages, and the banned can easily come back as retreads with another id.

It really rankles, because, I feel that they know who the cheaters are, as they have the best tools and expertise around, but for reasons best known to themselves, (could they be money and fame related?), they are unwilling to pay the price required to once and for all, sort it out in Court, if that is their fear.
