Thanks! Was actually wondering about that yesterday after I got my ass handed to me twice in a row. Could really use some practice 😅
Lichess is also open source. They are transparent with their finances and have taken on a developer who is upgrading their app(s). I say plural as they are keeping the old one with minor fixes but building a new one from the ground up .
The new app can also let you play puzzles while offline and well as play a bot offline.
Major variants are supported like 960, triple chess, atomic, and antichess.
And I think they’re also big on not having any trackers on the site too.
Lately I’ve started using fediverse presence as an early indicator to decide whether I trust an organization or company. Proton leaving because they couldn’t stand the heat after coming out as terrible kinda proved my point. Mozilla shutting down their instance was a good red flag.
Anyway, here they are: @lichess@mastodon.online
Chess.com links Tiktok, X, Youtube, Twitch, Instagram, and Discord. Lichess links Mastodon, GitHub, Discord, Bluesky, Youtube and Twitch.
Lichess has a vastly superior puzzle engine, it takes moments from real games where the player have made a mistake, catalogues it, ranks it and you can even check out the real game if you want.
There are millions of high quality puzzles.
I like puzzles.
My puzzle elo is 1600, my real elo 1300
Maybe i should stop playing blitz and play a long match where i have time to think about my Moves?
Nah to slow.
Kind of weird to include the name of one multiple times and not the other at all.
Isn’t lichess already the standard?
Not in all circles, unfortunately.
Chess.com also has a friendlier and more fun user interface.
