That includes Chess24, Chessable and a whole lot more.

Chess24 offers a very poor experience to the user. So, after this movement, I guess we've got two big and isolated islands, lichess.org vs chess.com. The other servers (FICS, ICC, etc.) are almost irrelevant. Thanks for sharing.

My take is that monopolies are generally bad for the consumer. This means Lichess is more important than ever.

Indeed, perhaps play.chessbase.com/en is still working, but lately is in the doldrums, with barely 2200 users connected.

I can't stand chess. com. Can't tell you how many cheaters my friends and I have reported, clearly cheaters, and they do nothing.
LOVE love LOVE LiChess.
So much so that I don't go to or even think about the other chess playing websites any more.

LiChess said they would always be free and they have been. They're amazing.
And all this while chess .com increases their monthly/annual fees. Soooo lame.
Go LiChess...you're the best.

Cheaters are everywhere, believe me, here in Lichess, regrettably, as well. Lichess has many fewer users than chess.com and, accordingly, many fewer cheaters. But in proportion, there's no difference. Be that as it may, chess servers aren't responsible for cheating, but their users.
