Here are a list of reasons you should consider playing/supporting lichess. I will preface by saying I've been a chesscom premium member for 3 years and not just a hater. I've given them around $250 for their features - far fewer cheaters. Chesscom announces hundreds of thousands of cheaters per month and on Lichess in 4 years I've been notified of 1 cheater. On chesscom I get messaged monthly or more about players I play. And word is that lichess has as good or better cheat detection - They offer around the same or more features for free than chesscom offers with diamond membership all the way to insights. Especially with the taketaketake partnership you can see brilliants and other crazy achievements (which came out before chesscom even released this in the last week) - Lichess also offers the new tutor feature which is totally free. This feature is essentially aim chess premium which is owned by chesscom and costs $8 per month - With the new taketaketake partnership they also offer AI coach reviews which is a big thing with chesscom diamond. This is also free - Lichess offers 100+ updates every single month for free whereas chesscom maybe implements 5 a year that we know about - Lichess posts all their spending and where donations go so you can see what your donations pay for - All puzzles on the site come from actual games on the site - Opening explorer and analysis are free - You can use your in game mistakes as puzzles and even replay your games against stockfish at key moments to learn how to convert - You have puzzle themes for free - You can create studies with annotations. Key for coaches. Most coaches I've worked with or talk with use lichess to coach even if they play on chesscom - You can view unlimited master games whereas on chesscom you have to pay to view certain famous ones - The broadcast page is better as well. This is very evident if you ever follow top tournaments. Almost all commentary teams use lichess - You can customize engine strength
