The best free, adless Chess server

I agree. I am subscriber of theirs. They provide immense value, for free.

I don't want to brag but I'm one of these people that have lifetime donation. They do the amazing job.

Long ago, I made an app that controlled a headless Firefox instance and would manipulate a Chess.com webpage via an API. Then I found a guy to help build a custom wooden chess board I could monitor with an ESP32 and make calls to that API for moves, bridging a real board in a DIY setup. Never did finish the board, but realizing now I should have released the API layer.

In any event, glad Lichess exists.

Every time I see "lichess", it makes me think about "lich-ess", i.e., a female undead wizard.

Written in Scala ❤️

Lichess actually has some stuff not there on chess.com. One of the heavyweights in open source world.

And the level is better on lichess, even if that's difficult to find 2800+ players.

I played it for a while i could not save games against the computer so i could play them later.
