Getting very slow.

Master-Rio on

Pakistan

Everytime I start to play, it takes forever to find a player and load the game. Once its done everything is okay, but right at the start of next game same thing!

Free of cost

Wahid 007 on

Unlike other online chess apps, in lichess you can solve hundreds of puzzles a day for free and analyse your games

Stop Unnecessary Banning

The Best Online Chess App

Pakistan

You cannot get anything like Lichess. It’s second to none. All other chess apps are worthless save Chess.com the major flaw of which is it’s requirement for buying a premium at analyze unlimited games which Lichess gives you free. I love it.

Game abort

Baig bros on

Pakistan

There is one problem I would like to address and that is that when someone doesn’t move in the given time for the first move, the game is aborted. Please change this bug so that the person who does not move loses instead of the game being aborted.

Decent App - Great community

Hate this sfs on

United States

App is difficult to navigate, not very intuitive. Reporting issues is more difficult than similar apps. Analyzing games played is also more difficult than similar apps. Great community of players.

By far the best chess app

Archer Is Epic on

United States

I was downloading it for a plane ride and saw it was four stars and I was shocked I competed in chess tournaments for two years and this was my favorite app, I haven’t played chess since Covid and I want to get back into it so hopefully I can regain my skill with this app
