Go look at lichess's open source codebase and tell me that isn't a beautiful product

Re: Chess.com vs. Lichess
#72Multiple premoves is not really a pro for chess.com. Premoves function differently on the two websites. On chess.com, each premove takes 0.1 seconds from your clock when it executes, while on Lichess, they do not take any time at all. Given that difference, having multiple premoves would be too strong. Given the way premoves behave differently, I wouldn't say either one is superior to the other.
Conditional pre-moves on chess.com are very useful for people playing correspondence chess, so that games can finish up a bit more quickly
You can premove as many moves as you want in a lichess correspondence game. I feel like you can even premove to whatever depth you want, but it has been a while since I've played.

#73Sounds like we need a chess DAO. It would be cool to have a piece of the game of "Chess".
Sounds like a hammer seeing nails.

Re: Chess.com vs. Lichess
#75A smidge off topic, but I'm curious; is there a place where you can upload (say) a chess bot you designed and play against other uploaded chess bots? (or any move base game, even as simple as 'paper rock scissors')?
You can do so on lichess. Basically you create a chess engine, set it as a bot account, and let it go against other engines and real players. I don't do it myself, but more info here: https://lichess.org/blog/WvDNticAAMu_mHKP/welcome-lichess-bo... And here: https://lichess.org/api#operation/botAccountUpgrade
Oh! Excellent... Thanks!

#76You can invite a friend to play on lichess, because it's free. This is a good direction for the tech world to go. I'm very glad there are people like ornicar, creating the world they want to see and live in.

Lichess also has conditional pre-moves in correspondence chess

#78Its good to have options
Re: Chess.com vs. Lichess
#79One thing not mentioned here is the players. Chess.com is much more beginner heavy. I'm a pretty bad player, and while on lichess I'm slightly below the median, on chess.com I'm around 80th percentile. It also feels like the common or average playing style is a bit different, more basic and aggressive on chess.com. Here we go, another Fried Liver!
Would you mind sharing your rating on each? I've found 600-level games on Chess.com much harder to win than 1000-level games on Lichess.
The Elo distribution is really different between them. I'm hovering around 1500 on lichess Blitz and 1100 on chess.com Blitz. I would say 1000 on lichess ~= 500-600 on chess.com.

#80If you've been following these two products for the last few years it's definitely clear to see that Lichess is slowly eating chess.com's lunch ... They're not fast at development, but slowly and surely improving and innovating on the space via being open source. For example, Lichess puzzles aren't quite of the same quality yet and their puzzle games are new (BUT) they've built and are improving the tech to create ne…
Interesting perspective. I have subscriptions to both and my first reaction was the exact opposite of yours.
Chess.con is so far ahead of lichens that it wasn’t debatable.
What in your opinion leads you to believe that lichess is eating chess.com’s lunch.
For me games are far easier and quicker to setup with chess.com. The drills are better at chess.com and so are the lessons, both in-depth and breadth.
I can’t really think of a single thing lichess does better so I find it strange that you see things So vastly different.
Also the competition on chess.con seems far better. My Elo rank on lichess is a full 500 points higher on lichess than chess.com, so I guess some purple could consider the go cost to be a point for lichess
What do you see in lichess that i superior to chess.com?
