Another question (https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/game-threatened-to-stop-before-time-ran-out):

Why do you forum users think that I have much easier matches at 1700+ blitz with lichess compared to getting crushed on 1100-1200 on chesscom?

The best comparison site i found rates 1200 chesscom 'not comparabale with any fide rating' and 1300 with around 1600 elo. lichess 1700+ is supposed to be higher than both. so why chesscom games feel so much harder?

Are there a lot of bots playing?

chess.com games feel much easier. I easily crush 2000s on this site while lichess 2000 is much harder.

Why do you feel that is? I know that it kinda equals out towards higher ratings, which means the curve is much steeper for lichess.

How so? It's pretty much the only serious one I could find. Do you know better?

I can substract, too But it's not that easy, compare the post I answered to before.

Still doesn't answer the fact that while 500 artificial points of difference for me, games feel much different, still.

Nobody commented on bots, yet....
