Can this only be used for games played on LiChess?
Or can I upload a PGN from, for example @fbchess?

It says it works on imported games.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Has the site been around for long? I've never heard of it but it looks like a large-ish community.
It was launched in 2016, with a much simpler interface (no accounts iirc), which evolved a lot to come to this day. Its source code is also really interesting, it makes me want to learn Scala.

It's been around at least as far back as 2010. Here is a 6 year old HN submission about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1927188

#24how does this compare to chess.com ? that site also has a post-game analyse feature which presents alternative lines
LiChess analysis is free and better. I don't know what the Chess.com paid analysis is like, but on LiChess you can just run Stockfish on your games and analyze different lines as you like. On Chess.com you have way less flexibility (at least with the free option).

#25Gotta ask and I ain't trying to start a flame war here.... how's the community compared to say, ICC? I was a big time user of ICC back in the day simply because the average player was high caliber after FICS started to become a bit of a dead zone for standard players (I like 45 5 or higher timed classic games )
havent used this, but icc ftw!

#26Nice to see lichess.org on here. I'm a huge fan of the iPhone app. I usually just try to solve the puzzles of the day to and from work while on the train. It has helped my chess game a good bit.
It can be rather addicting, also. On more than one occasion, my wife has gotten annoyed with me just sitting on the couch for hours trying to solve the puzzles :P

#27My big problem with lichess is that you are allowed to pick white when you set up your game request and/or if someone starts a match with you and they have black pieces they can cancel game after you make your first move with no penalty. If you query the top players games in blitz or lightning their ratio of white/black games is ridiculous.

#28> I tested the new feature on my favorite opening: 1.e4 e5 2.f4!, a.k.a. the mighty King Gambit. Stockfish hates it, and asked me to review it like it was a mistake! Yet it's considered playable. Actually Carlsen played it against Arionian in 2015. Not acceptable, Mr Stockfish! Actually, the King's Gambit has been (essentially) solved: https://en.chessbase.com/post/rajlich-busting-the-king-s-gam... There is only one…
The King's Gambit hasn't been solved nor is it likely to be solved any time soon. That article was one of Chessbase's annual April Fools posts. https://en.chessbase.com/post/the-chebase-april-fools-revisi...

#29I'd like to have similar tool for the game of Go!
I was thinking precisely the same. I love both games, but I'd love to see the equivalent for Go.

I agree it's annoying. But at least if you use the new "Quick game" pairing system there is no option to choose a color.
