I'll vouch for that. I hadn't even heard of lichess, just went looking for an Android chess game to play to pass the time. The app is stellar, and not full of garbage like the others.

My only complaint is how it's pronounced. Can't help but think of leeches.



The website is very lightweight and fully responsive on mobile, and usually has some extra features than the apps.


> Can't help but think of leeches.

Too much fantasy here and “lichess” makes me think of a female lich.


I defaulted to “lie-chess”, and that’s where I’m staying.


That's how I pronounced it initially, and I'm sticking to it also.
