The best I’ve found.
It’s also crowd funded and they talk about their interest tech as well.

It’s also crowd funded and they talk about their interest tech as well.
It’s also impossible to discuss anything related to chess.com on here or Reddit because lichess people tend to downvote and brigade anyone who doesn’t praise it.
The free and (to me) intuitive analysis tools on Lichess are the killer feature for me.
I wonder if the peaceful co-existence of lichess and chess.com co-existing somehow disturbs some esoteric ideology.
I don't hate lichess but I hardly see chesscom as evil.
The streamers will be fine. Eric Rosen is one steamer who refuses to sell out to chess.com. Chess.com is beginner friendly but not fee, doesn't even let you analyse your games properly without a subscription.
I do see harm in it, considering their competitor is a non-profit which has done great things for the chess community. Including open sourcing many things like icons and webassembly chess engines.
Combine that with their competitor being a non-profit organization which has created numerous open source[1] chess tools like engines, icons and boards and I would call them pretty harmful.
> In a nutshell, Chess.com is sponsoring me to continue making my free YouTube/Twitch content, but playing on their site.
Apparently, some people thought Chess.com was trying to paywall chess streaming content. Strange
Personally never had issues with people rejecting games on lichess.com. But lichess is a non-profit that has done great things for the world of chess and open source and open source chess. You'll find almost all better players there, with the exception of those who are payed by chess.com to only play on their platform. Part of the reason is that chess.com has some latency issues.
It's hard not to like lichess, considering their competitor needs to pay dozens of twitch streamers to stay on top, and require you to pay for a subscription just to have a decent game analysis.
As well as communism.
> Maker of lichess.org, a hippie communist chess server for drug fueled atheists.
Do hippies frighten you because they represent a more egalitarian and prosperous ideology than your narrow minded brain can conceive of?
Do communists make you quake in your boots because you don't believe you could get on in a society where you might not be able to solve all of your problems with money? indeed, imagine if you might have to rely upon people liking you; I also fear for your ability to get on.
Is it the "drug fueled" portion, because you perhaps feel some right to tell other consenting adults (whom probably know much better about their bodies and their own lives than you do about yours) what to do on their spare time?
Or are you waking up to the fact that we, as a society, are becoming more secular[0], and thus you see the advance of atheism as an attack against the institution of your personal sky daddy?
And these are all reasonable things to think of you, since you only wave vaguely at a collection of adjectives while expressing some nebulous form of disdain. Perhaps either clarify the nature of your disagreement, or continue to persist in the shadow of intellectual doubt and fear you appear to be laboring under... which is a disease very common to people who appear to believe as you do.
