chess.com copied lichess

https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-com-releases-library-feature

Read this article and you will never play chess.com again! They copied lichess!!!!!!! Lichess has studies and chess.com called it library!!!! Chess.com also stole the game of chess from lichess lol...

But really chess.com copied lichess!

-___ -

ahhhh my face thing came out distorted

But if Lichess copy puzzle rush and puzzle strike, No problem?

And this is not like lichess' studies. You can't edit the games. It's like chesgames' collections. Is just a place where you can save games.

@damafe jaja que haces aqui damafe

callar al tipo ese :D

@ChessCricket I wasn't playing on chess.com even before the release of that article.

Of course there are going to be similarities between two of the most popular chess sites. As @damafe alluded, popular features are going to be examined and, if feasible, adapted and adopted by each other.

The biggest distinction in my mind is how the sites are funded and ran, and this is truly where lichess stands head and shoulders above its competitors: no advertisements, no collecting of personal information, and all features are available for free.

And y'know what? If chess.com copied this model I'd tip my hat to them, but I don't know if that would be better for the chess community as a whole.

What I am saying is that chess.com should at least make that feature free

Lichess might have copied chess.com but at least they made it free

Chess.com always has annoying ads, membership nonsense, and other stuff that you had to pay for. Lichess would still be the best even if you have to pay some money. In fact, I would buy the membership! Chess.com, Chessable, and other chess websites just like advertising. They do it for the money.

So in the end Lichess has everything free and chess.com does not. Even if Lichess copied chess.com at least Lichess is free! No matter what Lichess will always be the best!!!!

PS. I wrote a little too much... It seems more of an essay than a forum post

#9 I'm wondering why you find the concept of a business model that generates a profit to be somehow wrong. An alternative to advertising revenue is used on this site.
You generously declared that you would willingly buy membership in Lichess if that applied; possibly you might like to investigate the donation facility here to help stave off any need for advertising.
