What real reviews say
★★★★ Good It is a very nice way to get better at chess but it shows a lot of stuff to pay for and limited amount of stuff you can do if you don’t pay.
★ Soooo much cheating!!! Everyone tired of the rampant cheating on chess.com should go to Lichess. They seem to be better at punishing cheaters and banning the accounts.
★★★★★ Great Great
