Lichess vs. Chess.com: The 1,000-Game Verdict

Cool blog, a lot of data, and interesting observation with the 0.1s. I didn't know that!

What is better, Lichess or Chessdotcom?
When is it hotter outside, in the summer or in the winter?

You did not mention that lichess has a better implementation of the Laws of Chess 6.9
6.9 Except where one of Articles 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3 applies, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by that player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves.

Nice comparison, must have taken loads of effort to play all these games.

I just checked:
my ping on Lichess is very stable around 70ms.
my ping on Cheese dot com hovers between 150-225ms.

Very strange.
I'm in Europe though, closer to Lichess' servers I guess.
