Lichess vs Chess.com on Google Trends :D

Now, if all the flaky dimwits that are pimple on the ass of chess.com abandon ship, they may come over to Lichess and that would be a shame. Since I have migrated to Lichess from chess.com it has been a pleasurable experience with good behavior from seemingly honest players. I am not suggesting all is bad with chess.com but IMO there control of unfair and suspect play has been weak. It seems that increasing membership and making more money has dominated the management of their site. I disabled chat because there was a small but significant number of players that were rude, abusive and made normally pleasant interactions with other players impossible. Eventually after 2 years paid membership I jumped ship.

i agree. jumped ship myself. play is a lot better here as well

I agree, I played on chess.com for 2 years and encountered many rude players. Also their diamond membership is a waste of money. Lichess is free with no ads, etc and I am really glad I found this site. Chess.com is constantly pressuring you to purchase a diamond membership, while lichess doesn't and let's all members have access to the wonderful features.

I moved here from chess.com too. This site is superior in every aspect that I want from a chess site:

1. playability

2. lag

3. dealing with cheaters

look for data on alexa.com, trends on google are not that relevant

As a sucky player, Chess.com is fun because I can play lots of levels of players (some good some bad); however, on Lichess, I have been learning more.

I also like Lichess' style and esthetics.

The only thing I like about chess.com is their video library. Of course, you need a membership to gain access. Even though I have a chess.com membership, I still prefer to play here.

Also people on chess.com are a lot douchier in chat than on lichess.

what i like about chess.com is the team matches there (correspondence chess). not sure if lichess have such a feature.
but i can agree with all that's been written above about the advantages of lichess! for solo play - lichess :)
