Why you prefer LIchess over CHess.com? Which chess.com features you miss on lichess.com? • page 3/4 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

The fact that i can actually finish games on Lichess. Tried Chess.com over the weekend and lost a lot of games through disconnection, even though my home internet was working perfectly. Never have connection problems with Lichess.

Mainly your first point. In chess.com maybe I am doing something wrong but without increment I lose one and another game.
I would add that my feeling, not being too paranoid, about cheating is much higher in chess.com.

The one feature I really miss from chess.com is the multi-premove option. When you have a won endgame (eg mate in 4) and your opponent refuses to move, in chess.com you can make all your moves as pre-moves and go and do something else while your opponent either times out or plays and loses. Here on lichess you have to react every time they decide to make a move.

Prefer is a heavy word but I have joined lichess despite already having a chess.com account for one reason - it lets me create a tournament to play with my circle of friends. It's only arena, but at least it's something. An arena tournament that exists is, after all, better than a Swiss that doesn't.

What I miss ?

Correspondence tournaments
Live Swiss tournaments
Puzzle rush
Puzzle battle
Vote chess

lichess is better. But, puzzles are not so good. I think chesstempo should be seen as base point for puzzles.

What I love about Lichess:

That extremely slick and modern interface, but a few more colors should be good.
Special sets like shapes and letters.
Quality chess advice from the forums right here.
Extremely low ping. (200ms might not seem much, but it's a ton when i had to live with 1000ms on cheatgods.com)
What I wish Lichess should've had:
Pretty much nothing. This is the perfect side in my opinion.
