Which one do people prefer? I’ve personally found the chess.com UI to be a lot warmer and more inviting than lichess, but I’m interested to hear people’s opinions

    I mean we already use an open source social media platform, why not go all the way? Lichess is completely free and ad-free. The only thing Chess.com do better is the themes, but that’s about it.

    Lichess runs much, much lighter than Chesscom. I definitely prefer the UI for things like analysis on Chesscom, but like Lichess more overall. If nothing else the amount of free tools (and 0 ads!) makes me appreciate the ethos of Lichess more. Power to the people.

    Lichess, definitely.

    From a technology point of view it’s superb and they have their users and chess as top priority.
