Which one do people prefer? I’ve personally found the chess.com UI to be a lot warmer and more inviting than lichess, but I’m interested to hear people’s opinions
I mean we already use an open source social media platform, why not go all the way? Lichess is completely free and ad-free. The only thing Chess.com do better is the themes, but that’s about it.
I prefer lichess, i like its analysis tools and the dev seems awesome.
Lichess, definitely.
From a technology point of view it’s superb and they have their users and chess as top priority.
people are also much nicer on lichess
Open source all the way!
definitely lichess
Lichess runs much, much lighter than Chesscom. I definitely prefer the UI for things like analysis on Chesscom, but like Lichess more overall. If nothing else the amount of free tools (and 0 ads!) makes me appreciate the ethos of Lichess more. Power to the people.
I prefer lichess, but most of my friends are on chess.com
Same here, I find lichess to be a smoother experience. Although I prefer the rating system on chess.com as it seems to be more accurate to elo ratings. Overall I prefer lichess for no ads, no subscription pestering, and being entirely free.
