Lichess vs chess.com


Fully agree on the studies. I’m a diamond member here and also a member of ChessTempo, so free puzzles are not much of an inducement.
I’ve played tournaments both places and suggested improvements for both. In arena tournaments, games abort when arena ends here (leading to many problems). Pairing in arena on Lichess is often glacial. Both sites can do better.

with lichess you are not as much worried about how much your elo goes up so you play better
lichess´s community is a bit small but but more healthier and better than chess.com´s

lichess>chesscom because
1)it's too laggy here to play 3+2 and 5+5 and lichess has lag compensation for that.
2)ads are frustrating here (even tho they're blocked)
3)because lichess is just free, forever without any paywalls and here, you're greeted with a membership offer, blocking many things needed for a learner behind a paywall.
lihess for sure. i like the puzzle games at chess.com, but It's not worth paying money monthly for it. I'd be willing to make a one-time payment Without any future updates. I hate subscriptions

Both of them is good I think chess is Too Expensive and The normal players is cant solve puzles but its good lichess is also good

chess.com member support doesn't reply to your e-mails
They treat you like garbage.
And they have authoritharian rules here.
You have to double check what you say, otherwise they mute you straightaway or the Gestapo Martin Stahl comes and locks the thread.
truly couldnt have said it better
