Chess.com is copying Lichess

I am very certain Nakamura has signed and "exclusivity clause" contract with Chess.com, for how long only a few know. He is their main man, worth big bucks to advertise and play there. He'll be playing here when the contract expires, if chess.com doesn't resolve it's lag issues. Read today they're thinking of eliminating all kinds of features, bells and whistles, including the posting of all pics and gifs to help eliminate lag. The only solution is to completely start over with a new platform, which of course will never happen. Eric is too stubborn.
Of course he has. Even this video by someone playing on lichess who I believe said they are an FM but wasn't verified got a message from Daniel Rensch - "Great video :) - I laughed out loud. Send me a message on twitter and let's get you doing videos on chess dot com!"

The player spammed chess.com and lichess daily about his channel so perhaps some of you remember him.

I found this information about lichess at wikipedia:

"Free Online Chess"; "Modern design, multitude of features, eight variants and all open source"; "We don't need ads. Nobody needs them."

I am totally in love with lichess.
