Lichess is better than chess dot com
Reasons:
-
https://lichess.org/features Patrons get what free people get, except patrons get a badge of support.
-
Their engine (Stockfish 15 NNUE Infinite Depth as much as your device can handle) is equal/better than chess.c*m's free user engine (I think also stockfish but only max 19 depth)
-
You get more analyzed games per day (40 a day vs 1 daily)
-
No NFT bullshit unlike chess.c*m's Treasure Chess, where you make NFTs of your games.
-
No ads, no tracking, open source (source code posted)
-
Genuine support from chess grandmasters, including Magnus Carlsen (current world chess champ) and Alireza Firouzja, 2022 Candidate for World Chess champ
