I mean in lichess u can just play with the computer and stuff. But in chess.com u can learn things and practice them. And once u know everything u can go back to lichess. Bc I played with a player antichess and I dont think he knew wut to do bc he place his pawn where i could put my pawn for him to kill me. Then he suddendly wanted to take it back then he aborted the game. I mean isn't that kinda mean. Bc u join a person's game then one single wrong just bc u dont know how to play the game u abort it. Its just being a sour loser tbh. When i was knew at this I didnt know wut to do to so I chalenged pros but tbh its easier if u go to chess.com
I don’t know. I would say, that a beginner would learn better offline, in a real class, then when he gets better at chess start online.
I prefer lichess, chess.com is better but there are to many ads (which distract me).
My Response: No.

i grew in lichess :p
Lichess is for all.(Free.) Chessdotcom is for all. (Not free.)
Look, I came from chess.com as a very strong player
I was 700 rated!!!!!!!!!!
now I am approximately 1300 in rapid with lichess influence plus some chess.com puzzles
chess.com are the ones who stole the domain adress quicker than lichess. ]
chess.com have good lessons though, but lichess have more variants e.g. RK, Horde and the analysis feature helps me a lot

If you are that desparate to get better, pay for a membership on chess.com and learn there. Otherwise, any chess website is fine!
Why the all of the people says the chess.com is the best .I think the Lichess it is good.and dr.wolf for learning
Lichess is good for young and old, noob and pro, rich and poor.
Chess.com is good for nothing.
Chess.com is good for nothing.
Yes. Funkmaus is the theatre usher of LIchess. She will guide beginners to the right seats to get the best view of Lichess action.
I tried chess.com free trial membership a few months ago, and I have to say their learning features are overrated.
You do indeed get tons of video clips (usually 10-15 minutes) where a GM briefly touches on a subject... and also some "challenges" which are mostly repetitions of the content of the video, plus a lot of sugarcoating if you solve them ("yeah buddy, you are so amazing for solving this, you will get much better in no time!"). Sometimes, you only get a few "challenges" and no clip.
If you are already somewhat advanced in chess (even only a bit), you will realize that this sugarcoating is not how it works in reality. To get better, you *have* to do the heavy lifting yourself. A few pats on the back feel nice, but will not help you much in the long run.
Sure, you can probably get use out of just about any chess content if you analyze it thoroughly yourself, and these lessons will be no exception. But why waste time (and a subscription fee!) to dig through chess.com's attempts to insulate you from the actual juicy work? There are enough GM games to be found online for free.
