My Chess.com rapid rating, (10+0), is 1416 and it claims that 94.3% of players have a lower rating than me.
My Lichess rapid rating, (10+0), is 1881 and it claims that 83.0% of players have a lower rating than me.

Go figure.

My guess is that most people start at chess.com and some advance to lichess later. Because if you goggle chess, chess.com is the first thing you find so it makes sense to start here. So it makes sense that chess.com whould have more players that are new to chess/beginners.

 

I started playing online at Chess.net in the late 1990s, then ICC beginning in 1999. I've been on chessdotcom longer than the site has had live chess. I've also been on Lichess most of its existence. I've played on both sites today. My game on chessdotcom was the better game. Sometimes it goes the other way.

I've beat more titled players on chessdotcom in the past two months than I've played on Lichess in five years. 

 

I think you deserve an award for that.  Its very respectable and honorable.  And extremely rare in this day and age.    I think chess.com should give awards to players who have their account more then a year or two.  Maybe  give an award every year making it more special the older the account is if enough games played.   Salute to you.  07

 

Thanks. They do give annual medals/trophies.

That is great. I just want to make clear that my statement that I believe chess.com has more beginners should not be interpreted as the same as chess.com has less stronger players.

Chessdotcom has more of everything.

Lichess is an excellent site and getting better. Chessdotcom is also getting better. Both sites have features I would change.

On Lichess, there is no way to contact an admin about problems. I have several that are ongoing, such as the extremely slow pairings in Arena. Lichess forums get archived. One of my threads was archived because my question was answered. That it was answered incompetently did not matter. On Chessdotcom they last forever. But one active chessdotcom thread no longer has the original post because it received too many downvotes.

I am a premium member here and a patron at Lichess. Both sites earn my money.

I play on both sites to.

Then we can compare relative numbers to absolute numbers. Were the relative numbers would be the beginners divided by the total of players on that site. So my point being that i think chess.com has more beginners in relative numbers compared to Lichess. Since if you play rapid on both sites. you will see that one site might say you are better then 85% of the playerbase while the other says 90% of its playerbase even do it is the same person player. So the variables would kinda be either how they measure the active playerbase or how many people are beginners relative the playerbase.

 

So i am not talking about what sites is good or bad. I like both sites to.

I suspect so, but to confirm need some data from average players. I’m in the top 10-12% OTB and much higher on all websites. Chessdotcom has very low average ratings.

I made a lichess account but haven’t played any games because the site layout violates my high standards.

1300 rapid chess.com. 1500 rapid lichess. I don't like lichess so I don't play there anymore. Player pool sucks and I prefer chess.com layout much more

2310 Blitz here, 2404 Blitz there, although my winrate on Lichess is still very high, and I'm sure I could reach at least 2450 there if I were to play more.

Ratings are more accurate. For lower ratings, they start at 1500 so everyone is higher but for good players there isn’t a question

 

I know 1200ish OTB players with Lichess Rapid ratings 1700-1900. That not what “accurate” means.

1200 OTB doesn’t match my definition of good
For anything above 1800 OTB lichess is better
For worse players, as everyone starts higher at 1500, ratings are inflated

 

I’m over 1800 OTB. My Lichess ratings seem too high and my play there is generally sloppy. My chess.com ratings are much closer to OTB.

You can't compare ratings from different rating systems in different playerbases.

 

That’s correct.

also adding to the above comment, the strength is very accurate at 2000+ as it starts leveling out and becoming more harder to climb and build rating, from there its more skill like here happy.png

@ziryab why does it say your account violated terms of service on lichess?  And if I remember correctly you said on these forums you are only in the 80 something percentile  on lichess compared to your 97.7 percentile here.   That would account for your "sloppy play" there I guess...

 

That’s not me. I use different names at different sites. Twenty years ago, I used the same name everywhere. I still use that old name at sites where I haven’t played in several years and sites that no longer exist. I have one name I use in two places, but generally I pick a new name when I create an account at a new site. I was Ziriab at ICC for a few years, but have a different name there now.

My blitz percentile at Lichess is 90.

My Lichess ratings:
