lichess is the best!
chess is not a game to pay!
I mean I understand paying for football but paying for chess is none sense!
I don't play chess for a long time and only can follow events and Magnus's games because I don't have free time but I was using lichess when I was active and still appreciate lichess and people who work here
I am waiting for Hikaru's reaction about this blog.
I think Chess.com contributes less to the Chess world by giving you a more advanced system while paying none.

I left Chess.com about 2 years ago because it became almost impossible to play back then at a 1700 rating due to the unbelievable amount of cheaters, not to mention they didn't take care of complaints about it (I don't know how it is now).

I wasn't keen at first to play at lichess.com (After so many years on chess.com), but I am glad I did.

In order to keep chess popular, we have to make chess more approachable & I don't think chess.com has it in its ideal - it's a company, and the company is there to make profits - that's how it is in life.
To me, this article is written in the style of an explicit indirect criticism of Chess.com and a desire to prove oneself cool against the backdrop of an unfortunate looking competitor. Exactly the competitor, that's how it looks in the article. Not a bit of gratitude to anyone, just a smirk. Don't do that, please behave more decently. You are, after all, one of the officials of Lichess. And no need for sarcasm. If I were you, if I wanted to say something constructive, I would have written this article in a completely different way.

Yes, I'm his personal banker and have access to all his bank accounts and investment funds. He just doesn't know it yet.
