Our Favorite Open-Source Sites #2

I love it.

What about chesscup.org/? Could not find any About on the site, but it looks quite like lichess and is similar to blitztactics. It even has Puzzle Rush Tournaments.

Hello, thanks for sharing these!

I'm writing to petition you to retitle this list: It's best to emphasize that these are free (as in freedom — libre) software: "open source" is a label invented by capitalists to undermine the struggle for software freedom in favor of emphasizing how software can serve capitalist business, and so the term should be avoided.

Richard Stallman has a great article describing some reasons why the term is problematic, "Why Open Source misses the point of Free Software".

I realize it's not your intent, but using the "open source" label only serves to benefit the machine of capitalist oppression, and I'd be grateful for your correction of this.

Thank you!

@xSilverBulletx ChessCup.org is, as far as I can tell, not Open-Source and thus not eligible for this blogpost.

@kolubat You make a fair point, and I'll consider changing the name if and when I do another one of these. In my defense, if you changed the name to "Our Favorite Free Software," all 4 sites mentioned would still be eligible.

Capitalist counterpoint to #35: "Free" could be argued to be a label propogated by post-Marxian socialists to marginalize the technical impossibility of obtaining something without giving something else up.

Woah that opening tree is a game-changer! (no pun intended) I didn't think it was that hard to find what i needed before, but this is going to make it so much easier. And I'm looking forward to mastering draughts *:) Sharing is definitely caring!

Why is lichess so awesome???

I came here to find something new but was disappointed. Maybe there's something in the comments.
