i was curious abt that a lil while ago and read some online threads on the topic and there didnt seem to be any real consensus as to which site is harder

lol youre not even allowed to talk about it on the chess.com forums
david #9 Oct 6, 2017Mentions are okay if it's about a game you played there recently or something like that. Any comparisons, however, are not okay, and unfortunately asking how ratings there compare to ratings here is included in that. Chess.com policy is that any such comparison is not allowed in our own forums - it's a matter of it leading to claims and counter claims and arguments that are essentially irreconcilable, much like politics or religion.
I am now locking this thread.
Thanks,
David, moderator

the first rule of chess.com is don't talk about lichess

the second rule of chess.com is that the horseys jump in an L-shape

the opposite of feeling terrible bc you lost on time when you had pieces up is winning with only 13 seconds left on the clock when your opponent has 5 min left but he blundered a bunch of pieces away bc he was trying to force a win on time

cracks me up when someone starts losing and then they wait til there's almost no time left on the clock for every single move in order to drag it out

hopefully i can find a way to chill and notice if im making "holes" and "weaknesses"
― lag∞n, Saturday, 7 April 2018 00:11 (six years ago) link
won again with 19:17 left this time, feel like the longer games might be softer than blitz on lichess i just mopped up a 1620, seems like the players minds are just moving slower rather than taking the time to make better moves, tho in this game i thought i had my opponent trapped and he managed to dig his way out after a long think, maybe training yrself to think fast in blitz then taking time to think in longer time controls is the way to go, just have to have enough discipline to actually take the time to think lol
maybe doing jerry style thinking out loud wld help, have some stock questions u ask yrself and so forth

i get annoyed when ppl let the clock run down instead of resigning but then i think about them closing a tab in anger and its funny

just played the funniest game ever

white resigns in disgust. computer has him +0.67 but the opening is too sick. he will play against a normal person next, he hopes
― imago, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 18:53 (five years ago) link
lol
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 3 October 2018 19:11 (five years ago) link
the game that just pushed me over 15hundo the opponent resigned inexplicably too material was even i had a better but not dominant position and he was way up on time, i looked at the engine analysis to see if there was some sick tactic i was missing but there wasnt, maybe they just had to be somewhere idk

scandinavian is wild xp i like when ppl play that v me its usually a p fun game, i always take
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 October 2018 00:05 (five years ago) link
Taking is the best move for white iirc I always do it when someone plays scandi against me and anecdotally I’ve found ppl that don’t take don’t do great
― Mordy, Thursday, 4 October 2018 00:19 (five years ago) link
yeah i think its generally agreed that its best
