Lichess vs Chess.com

Lichess is a better interface to play chess online.

Chess.com has stronger players and less toxic forum but personally I cant bare the fugly interface and the pawn skins there nor the aspect ratio of the board in fact anything that has to do with UE and UI I dislike it thus I prefer lichess.

Even the analysis is more convenient on lichess.

I really disagree. I could show you a profile on Chess. Com where his accuracy is +94 % in every game, and a tactical genious Tal would envy. He is/was 1600 ish in Rapid (climbed from 1200 in a row), but doesn`t stand a chance vs a 1200 Rapid player on Chess. Com when they play OTB, score is like 18-2 to the 1200 player.
Another friend was tired of loosing in blitz so he cheated in a game. It didn`t even go 1 hour before Lichess detected it.

excactly!

Lichess is way better. Not only is it free, but I like how it tells you to activate your account, then leaves you in peace. I set up a free account on chess.com and then I got a message saying that I would start getting ads because chess.com is such a great site that needs to make money somehow and that hopefully I would understand since they have the best intentions at heart. I do not. If a site really cares about its users, it wouldn't even have ads in the first place. And clearly, there is no reason for sites to rely on ads because Lichess does not and is still fine.

Since then, I've gotten way more messages explaining how friendly the staff is and more nonsense. I've never gotten any of that on Lichess, and I really like that.

Lichess all the way!

LICHESSS!

Lichess!!!

I get logged out of chess.com whenever I close the computer. Even if it's closed for 1 minute, I come back and I have to log in again.
