Should I use Lichess?

So, I've heard a little bit about lichess, but is it truly better in your opinion?

No

bruh not you

Lichess game review shows up to 5 good moves by means of drawing arrows in the board... This feature is beginner friendly when it comes to analyzing the board... If you want to learn a move that suits your playstyle, this feature might be good for you...

Lichess is known to have an extremely dry and boring design, so if you need a lot of stimuli and silly things to maintain your attention you'll probably hate it.

However, it also has less players (so, less chance of encountering...dishonest players) and doesn't hide a bunch of things you'd likely need behind a paywall. (For example, you get unlimited puzzles, game reviews, and lessons for free.)

Additionally, the puzzles come from actual games that can be viewed in full if you so desire, and the lessons are made by the players themselves, which can maybe make it feel more authentic to some people.

One problem with the website is that its game review is rather bare bones. It can be slow to load and only shows the very best move instead of several good ones. It also doesn't seem to show "!" and "!!" at all for especially good moves unless you go through a rather lengthy process to see if the move in question qualifies (I could be wrong on that. I'm not sure), but it will gladly point out all of the not so good moves that were played.

There are probably other things to consider, but these are the big ones.

I use lichess to learn more then come back to cc

yes try it out

what do you have to lose?

"To learn a move"?

Depends what you like. For me chess.com is a tad too colourful and gimmicky. So I am there for the chess and here for the drama

That said, the video collection and lectures here are probably worth the membership if you are willing to put in the work.

No

I prefer Lichess over Chess.com because I’m a communist

Although it’s true that Chess.com has the best forum the one on Lichess is terrible.

"OH YES I HAVE CHECKMATE, MY PLAYSTYLE HAS WORKED! Wait how do I move my rook to B2"

Yes it is very good practice.

Lichess is Open-Source, which is great.

I like chess.com in my desktop but when I am in a bus or train going to work I find Lichess more stable in a cell phone.

Ah yes, the boring bland UI is clearly a dopamine bomb

Your choice
