Which one do people prefer? I’ve personally found the chess.com UI to be a lot warmer and more inviting than lichess, but I’m interested to hear people’s opinions

    Lichess runs much, much lighter than Chesscom. I definitely prefer the UI for things like analysis on Chesscom, but like Lichess more overall. If nothing else the amount of free tools (and 0 ads!) makes me appreciate the ethos of Lichess more. Power to the people.

      I think it’s just that I found the UI unintuitive when I first opened it up. It is nice to have all the different formats right there for you to select, but I found it difficult to find where to challenge a specific friend to a match, which is why I downloaded the app. Chess.com just felt more streamlined in that respect. That said, I’ve had a newfound appreciation for the app since starting this thread
