Pronunciation of lichess

Though experts tell me it should be pronounced as 'leechess', 'liechess' just sounds so much better. How do you people say it?
I have always pronounced it "Liechess," regardless of what others have said. It just sounds more right, even though it isn't. It would probably be a good idea for us to get rid of our bad habit of pronouncing it wrong, however, because it makes us seem uninformed.
I feel it is the fact that 'liechess' is much closer to the spelling.
Wikipedia:"Lichess (/ˈliːtʃɛs/[3]) is a free and open-source Internet chess server run by a non-profit organization of the same name."
In Germany all users say "Leechess".
Liechess??
This is not a website for telling lies, this is for playing chess.
Why are there experts on pronouncing Lichess? It is simply pronounced Luhcheese.
