Pronunciation of lichess

I used to call it lychees 😂 😆

I pronounce it LEACHESS

"lee-chess". You'll get used to it.

@A_0123456 I will...

c'mon bras, what are you thinking? Liechess? It is, and always has been leechess. Liechess is not an option.

lie-chess is a lie!

Let's settle this once and for all - thumbs up if you agree with me and think people should pronounce 'lichess' like the 'li' in light and thumbs down if you prefer the traditional 'expert' pronunciation, pertaining more to libre

there are several ways to pronounce lichess
LEE-chess - vote up
LIE-chess - vote laugh
LEA-chess - vote horsey
LIA-chess - vote thinking

I always thought that it was pronounced Lee-chess because it is a pretty common Chinese last name.

Verdict: Evidently, from the results shown by @BulletStreamz quite helpful poll, the 'expert opinion' of the pronunciation is outnumbered by the rebelious bandits - we lichess users who refuse to pronounce 'lichess' as 'Leechess'.

Conclusion: Despite being divided by our pronunciation of the strangely spelt 'lichess' we are all united with our common hate and superiority over the eyesore that the chess world sees today - chess.com. The beautiful variety of the ways the name of this website could be a reflection the beautiful clean interface that lichess.com offers and, of course, the varied and helpful community that the website contains.
