    Honestly, the only reason I didnt completely switch to Lichess yet, is because the UI isnt so pleasing to me.

      Green and white is the best color combination for human eyes (according to some study). At least that’s why road signs in the USA are all green with white text.

    Green has a better contrast compared to the "wooden" theme and looks cleaner. BTW, a lot of "roll up" chess boards come in green. It is not that unusual.

    In your opinion, how do the ratings compare on the 2 platforms? Does one or the other match more closely to FIDE ratings?

    • @journeytograndmaster
      @journeytograndmaster  Місяць тому

      I think they are both overrated comparing to FIDE. Not that it's bad, current fide system is heavily criticized. But it's just different.
      I have 2413 FIDE, 2650-2750 in chess.com blitz and 2600-2700 on lichess blitz

  • @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving
    @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving Місяць тому +2

    I like to play casual/unrated games when tired after work... and Lichess sucks for that because they don't stop players having multiple accounts or maintaining a real rating. There's people on the site with 20,000 games and perma-beginner ratings. It's very rare to get a fair unrated game against a genuinely comparable opponent. That's a big drawback for the site.

    • @journeytograndmaster
      @journeytograndmaster  Місяць тому

      I actually like that you can have a lot of accounts as a professional player. Because you can try new openings/variations and nobody will know it :)

    • @chrisdavis2161
      @chrisdavis2161 26 днів тому

      I have no clue what you are talking about. I've had 2 accounts on both sites for years. Lichess does discourage this, but I don't use it to cheat so..
      You have to choose custom games and the time control and set your rating min and max rating. I play 2000+rated players this way. But I just play regular rated games otherwise to play ppl around my level. I don't understand "fair unrated games"...casual games has the advantage that you can play much higher rated ppl. If you want a fair game, just play rated games. Or you can have an alt account on Zen mode and just play anyone without feeling like you're losing something...

    • @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving
      @AndyDavisTechnicalDiving 26 днів тому

      @@journeytograndmaster Yeah, that's good for you; but maybe not so good for others if it means lower elo players get unknowingly used as cannon fodder for practice. I think that the basic facility for being able to play against opponents of one's own strength is pretty fundamental to a chess application. The vast saturation of smurf accounts on Lichess seriously degrades that facility. Most people could just play unrated on their main account and select a desired rating range when practicing. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Doesn't Lichess have an anonymous mode ... for those of a higher level wishing to obscure their preparation?

    Lichess for the speed chess is just too unrealistic. They sacrificed authenticity for smooth gameplay. I don't want to play. 1 minute bullet game and have the game last about 15 percent longer than it should. You heard it here, time your 1-0 game look at the clock at the end, and calculate. A 2 minute game total regardless of premoves ect should not last almost 2 and a half minutes.
