Imagine for a moment that you could access any book in the world and read it on your device, and this was a service offered by the public library. The why would you give your time and money to Jeffrey Bezos and use audible for the exact same service? Is this even a choice? Can someone explain to me why anyone would use chess.c*m over Lichess?

Idk, chess.cum sounds pretty fun to me…
chess.com has cute profile pictures for its bots. Bullying “Martin” is just scientifically more fun than bullying “Stockfish Level 1”.
IDK but @lichess@mastodon.online has anarchy pieces so it is 10 000% better
Never heard of Lichess before. I’ll try it out.
For casual players they hear about chess.com via a paid ad, try it out, enjoy it, and then stick around because that’s where the other casual players are. Lichess is much more adept players making it much less fun for the casual player

I use both and I just think that chess.coms UI is superior to lichess. It just looks so much nicer. Obviously lichess gives you free puzzles and free analysis for all games which is arguably better.
I built an API layer for Chess.c*m. I should release that. Made it to build an open source board, but never did the hardware part
I like the UI and the animations on chess.com app better, other than that, it’s practically useless after 3 puzzles a day.
For some reason, the position of that asterisk made me think you’re talking about a chess-themed porn site.

Aren’t the only premium parts of chess.com related to learing/classes and analysis? Pretty sure you can play for free
Plus the post-gamr analysis tools are great! Tho a bit odd discovery-wise.
