Chess.com vs lichess

Lichess free. Very good to see the statistics. You can view statistics of other players. And to make a comparison. Here are my findings. 2300-2400 Strong Candidate master. 2100-2200 Ordinary candidate master. 1800-2100 player 1 category. 1600-1800 player 2 category. 1400-1600 player 3 category. Unfortunately, Fide rating, many old. Not relevant. Because of this, many people think that playing the same force as before. But playing blitz often, yet the game improved a bit. Who has played 1000 parties if he has the same party? I have all of the party different. Any party not repeated. The experience accumulated and the strength of the game is growing. Now I have 1800 rating on chessgame. Liches a rating of 1850. IMHO.
"I started playing on chess.com recently"

Horrible. I can't imagine anything more disgusting than chess.com. Why some people waste their time there I will never understand.
I frequent both of the sites. Both are awesome. I also use a website called Instantchess which I've been playing at a long time. Using all the chess sites is the best site.
chess.com is all about nickel-n-dimin' the little man. Pay just to get an analysis board. They are not unique in this, but they act as if they represent the chess community and promote learning...lol what a joke.
lol yeah Instantchess ain't pretty. I don't think they have updated anything since I started playing there in 2001. I just have a soft spot for it because it was my first chess site. I know a lot of the opponents and can still look up the games I played there in the early 2000's. The instantchess phone app is much more modern than the website. On the topic of apps as well as the original post, chess.com's app is by far the best.
At the disgusting inferior chess.com there is no freedom of speech. I got this message from chess.com: "Chess.com has a policy about not comparing our web site with our competitors: as you seem to do very little other than such comparisons, this is your first and last warning - any more such posts will result in the muting of your account here on Chess.com.

Chess.com knows Lichess is better and that's why the word "Lichess" is not allowed.
The 1400 pool is very enginey on chess.com, at least I noticed that, once u managed to squeeze out of that range the 1600s-1800s are much easier.
On chess.com im 2300 bullet and on lichess im 2300ish also, but I used to be like 2500 but I lost my mojo, but ya lichess is inflated compared to chess.com and real life, significantly, ive noticed. Probably a good 300ish points
