I don’t want to brag but I’m one of these people that have lifetime donation. They do the amazing job.
I agree. I am subscriber of theirs. They provide immense value, for free.
Long ago, I made an app that controlled a headless Firefox instance and would manipulate a Chess.com webpage via an API. Then I found a guy to help build a custom wooden chess board I could monitor with an ESP32 and make calls to that API for moves, bridging a real board in a DIY setup. Never did finish the board, but realizing now I should have released the API layer.
In any event, glad Lichess exists.
How does it display opponent moves?
probably magnets… or lights…
or Magic
Magnets are magic
An LED in the corner of each square would light up an existing piece and the place to move it to. The Pi would ping the API, which would compare the current location to the board on the webpage to determine the change.

Every time I see “lichess”, it makes me think about “lich-ess”, i.e., a female undead wizard.
And the level is better on lichess, even if that’s difficult to find 2800+ players.
Took me awhile to adjust as I was used to the .cum UI, but it really is great.
I’m also used to cum.
I used to spend so many nights with chess cum
You chessed in your pants?
I shudder imagining that a stupid company could make
.cumdomains actually happen. Looking at you Google and your.ziptrolling.
I played it for a while i could not save games against the computer so i could play them later.
