They blocked my account because I managed to reach an accuracy of over 90% from time to time.
Great for beginners learning chess and great for more experienced players who can create their own studies and to analyse games as well as checking out openings and endings.
I like that it is an option, although I seldom use it, because I want to improve my score. No risk, no gain.
According to them, betting trade rook instead of letting me end the game... if I could give 0 stars, I would!!! stay away from the website and app!!!
In general the site is super fast, efficient, well constructed, and seems to have far bigger events in general than anywhere else on the Internet.
This application frequently becomes unresponsive when touching the screen, which is especially critical during Blitz games where every second counts.
But the platform is definitely manipulated to suit certain players from very large populated countries, like India.
There are so many issues that it would take too long to mention them all.
Reported many situation, no feedback what happened.
You can analyse infinite games for free although another websites require payment to do that.
No sensitive player likes to play with a low rated player and win a game as it is not at all a win.
Also amazing how many times you get a miss move at a crucial moment in the game !
I've been doing the chess puzzles for over a year. It's great. It's free.
It is wrong to make old people, like me, who learned to pay chess 50 years ago to go through bullshit just to be allowed to play chess.. No! it is like playing a game of chess and some A-hole comes in and knocks over the chess board. It is not okay.
Best not to play random players if you cannot cope with occasionally coming across someone using a chess engine.
Recently, I was banned from Lichess during a tournament.
If this were reality - face to face chess game and someone happened to drop a piece then a normal human being would say " Okay take back the move and go one". but with this Lichess bullshit app you have to learn more and more rules and rules about how to use an app online. NO!! > No you are wrong. !
Also the players seem just there for having fun not for playing chess, never accept revenge.
Really good platform but the management (or admin or whatever is the name of them) is useless.
I have been a recurring donor for years and recommend everyone to donate to this site to help support it!
When pairing there is always at least 40K people playing so you will find quick match.
Great graph and statistics.
Great open-source chess platform.
Lichess lives of donations, which are all spent on its servers, supplying it's users with absolutely free and ad-free chess.
I play chess a lot and This website offer almost everything you need.
An large influx of mentally ill people have overrun the forums so that asking questions or making observations is impossible, now. Mods simply don't care.
Noticeable spike in cheating over the same time span, about which nothing is ever done.
They added a 'hint' button.
I almost want to say it's "too easy" and therefore quite addictive!
The recent Lichess Spring 2024 marathon was a real joy to play in, and I even streamed it live on twitch.
I love how lichess is free. its another experience for me. The UI sucks. but you can design it yourself with various extensions or with settings in site. compared with other chess servers, this one has the best cheat detectors.
What comes up is this trash and I hate it. I hate it. Why? what is wrong with you people that invented a game to play chess and got way the hell off track?
The site is turning into a virtual sewer.
Once this issue is resolved, I would be happy to reconsider and update my feedback.
A new bug on the site: after a game finished regularly there appears a page to the effect that "we have to time you out for 8 minutes, because you seem to abbandon games or non finish them, etc.
Apparently, it’s forbidden on Lichess. org to play good chess and be successful. Be careful!
It really deserves all the support it gets!
First round was against a titled player, who I managed to beat.
There is no paid version so the training features are limited but the engine is very strong and the puzzles training feature is excellent.
Thank you LiChess for allowing so many scumbags to cheat using chess progs. WOKE, DEI, CANCEL.
