lichess has awesome microphone quality for study sessions / private games. i don't think there is anything like that here.

I created an excellent study on Lichess yesterday. I cannot create the same quality interactive presentation here, although I can do something close.
Nonetheless, I prefer chessdotcom in most ways.

I'm sure the staff might be enjoying this slandering here of Lichess. So I take is that a bit unfair and also they allow insults but can't let us mention or ginger up the other websites.
i mean personally there shouldnt even be people being biased or liking something more than the other as both have the same shares, ones a social gaming site and the other is a chess site and its just based on general preference, here more people prefer greenpawn over lichess and thats fine while on lichess more prefer greenpawn its that simple. on the greenpawn discord there was a mod and we both agree to just loving both sites overall
i agree coolout at least we can say that some are feeling "biased here"
I dont think he's right
I don’t think you guys understand that LiChess = sucks
Agreed
Yea. Maybe they could add a program like adding rating points or something
lichess does not suck, thats your personal belief and many in a tweet post giri made asking carlsen if he thinks chess.com is #1? they had a vote poll and guess who won? lichess. again many people here need to accept the fact that lichess is a chess site not a social site like chess.com and we have to appreciate both. just cause this site has a more competitive pool doesnt make lichess worse unless you want to improve highly but again value both sites.

a single man made that site, got help and together all worked to make it amazing so why dont you show some respect instead of calling his work as a "highways chess site"

A lot of these people say that Lichess is "better because it's free" which is silly because it obviously doesn't take into account anything that matters on the site itself. I would imagine most of them have never had a Diamond here on Chess.com and as a result, really don't know what they're talking about. The Diamond here provides an absolute plethora of content that Lichess does not have. Plus, as we've clearly established: It's soft as can be over there. Amateurs with no clue are achieving 2000+ ratings in different categories. I think many people who trumpet Lichess so loudly do so because they like the ego boost a clearly inflated rating brings them.
i had diamond at one point and i got to say i dont see much difference overall with features and content, they are same thing and each site has their own benefit in learning. the more significant argument would be the competitive pools and rating systems as a player climbs up the rankings. while it is true that chess.com has more strong players in strength, that doesnt make lichess soft and the more you climb the more it kind of events itself out

So this is the origin of the problem!

I have a nearly 1700 blitz on Lichess. I could easily surpass 2000 classical at this point. If you watch the 2300+ players play blitz on Lichess vs Chess.com - there's no real comparison in the quality of play. Neither with rapid. Chess.com is not a social site - it's the harder player pool.
it is a social gaming site, why do you think the forums are a mess and lots of features not really needed are made? i remember in beta there were some emojis for chat which were instantly removed after some time along with some public features like the "click to see image in messages" which many called bad despite its reasoning which is mostly nsfw.
the site revolves around many playing on it to get money and i dont blame it for anything there and i wont judge it as chess.com is a business trying to improve its sociality and make everyone find the site appealing with its design from watching streamers such as hikaru or others who basically make them want to be here. everyone comes here cause its advertised as the #1 chess site but thats not really true, its just everyone knows it exists

Use thine brain, friend. Lichess uses a different rating system. I don’t know what else to say. You can’t compare the two pools because they don’t even use the same rating system…

Interesting, because most people here have an account on Lichess too. I wonder how people mysteriously play worse on Lichess…

I ask again: Are you saying that Lichess has a tougher player pool?
No? I just said you can’t really compare them. Saying ‘1900s blunder this, blunder that’ isn’t a good argument because ratings are different.
ooooooooooooh
noiiiiice
funny, missed that memo completely. ty for telling me. no game involved.
