I agree. I am subscriber of theirs. They provide immense value, for free.

I don’t want to brag but I’m one of these people that have lifetime donation. They do the amazing job.

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.

Every time I see “lichess”, it makes me think about “lich-ess”, i.e., a female undead wizard.

Written in Scala ❤️

Lichess actually has some stuff not there on chess.com. One of the heavyweights in open source world.

Took me awhile to adjust as I was used to the .cum UI, but it really is great.

And the level is better on lichess, even if that’s difficult to find 2800+ players.

I played it for a while i could not save games against the computer so i could play them later.
