I think "rare" rather overstates my failings by implication,

Who am I to question a worthy hippopotamus? ;p

And remember, all hippopotami are worthy (although not to be approached, since they are faster and more dangerous than many assume).

What was OP ?

Comparing two chess websites with two political ideologies just make an advertisement about your "amazing" website? People are very interesting sometimes...

PSA: Durarbayli had left Lichess out of sheer spite over discussing the Bergkarabach conflict

(Speaking as a proud, proud capitalist)

I like the idea that making lichess less free is an improvement somehow. Does he think some of us are miffed that the site isn't expensive enough?

"I like lichess, but I wish it was 50% more freemium and difficult to use. I like resources, but I also hate having a profit. Thus, I made the decision to make a site that was somewhat shittier than lichess, but also doomed to fail in financial competition with chessdotcom."

Chess has two extremes: Chesscom at the cishet end and Lichess at the gay transgender end. I want to build something in the middle.

bichess?
