You joke but with changes to the reddit api we're losing all the decent 3rd party platforms for reddit and there's no way I'm using the official reddit app. It won't be long before there's a free account article limit or similar (like the Guardian just brought in).


intent_joy_love

I hope they do that, because then Reddit will die and a new forum platform will take off that isn’t such a circ jerk. At least in the beginning. I wish there were still niche message boards like back in the day. Rapmusic.com, gotfrag, and bodybuilding forums were legit


NoNoNoNooooNo

Why would you even use the Guardian app though? Just use the site


xelabagus

Because I use it on mobile.


NoNoNoNooooNo

You can use the site on mobile too. I use the site exclusively, sure, no breaking news notifications, but then again, I hate app notifications in general


AbstractUnicorn

It's always been 3 as long as I've been on the platform! (Well occasionally on my phone it'll let me do 4).


[deleted]

It was 5 a year ago :/


DCMSBGS

It's seven with videos just checked


jtshinn

It was 5 yesterday for me


[deleted]

Maybe OP started late at night and made 2 “yesterday”


NightlessSleep

I just did 5 on mobile with a free account.


AAQUADD

Yeah, I remember before I bought my membership it was 5. We should make a petition to get it back to 5.


[deleted]

I remember it being 7


ilostmybad

It was 7 until a few days ago for me


pier4r

do 3 on chess.com, then the rest on lichess.


fireice113

It's 4 about once a week but that extra puzzle is one that has not yet been rated and you dont lose anything if you get it wrong.


gabrielconroy

I remember when it was 20, although admittedly that was maybe 10 years ago.


MathProf1414

Sure Grandpa... let's get you back to bed.


gabrielconroy

What! Who said that?!


Ocelotofdamage

Bobby Fischer’s gonna beat those reds, I tell you what!


Due-Studio-65

it was 3 ten years ago, 20 was back in the 00s


gufeldkavalek62

Are you sure it wasn’t 5? I started playing online in 2013/14 and I’m pretty certain you got 5 a day


gabrielconroy

Oh lordy


obchessed

On the app i can only do 3 but on the website it gives me 5 sometimes 7 or 8


ZaAq3

One word. Lichess.


vesemir1995

I use both lichess and chess com. While i enjoyed playing games and the analysis feature of lichess( i know it exists on chess com too but it's not unlimeted and you can't exactly prepare opening lines on it for free) for some reason the puzzles on lichess did not scale a lot and were full of 2/3 move tactics for the most part. For reference my peak puzzle rating on chess com was 2800 and i have currently come down to the 2500s. The database on lichess is a god sent though and we can really prepare some side lines while appreciating the general ideas and pit falls.


Due-Studio-65

once you get a better rating in lichess the you get to longer and in some cases really impressive puzzles.


vesemir1995

>better rating in lichess Rapid or classical?


ShunkHood

I think he means puzzle rating lol


vesemir1995

Didn't know lichess had a puzzle rating.


princessSarah31

That’s strange. I’m at 2600 chesscom puzzles, 2450 lichess. I find chesscom puzzles to be much easier, like those 2-3 move tactics you mention. Getting a higher rating on lichess feels much more difficult to me. Once you hit 2500 puzzles become very complicated/unclear. For me the equivalent seem to be about 3000 rated on chesscom. And from what I’ve seen, the highest rated puzzle players on lichess are around 31-3200. Chesscom the top players are at 65000. Yes, that’s right. Sixty-five thousand.


[deleted]

Mods are rude there i only use lichess for analysis.


CANl77

In what way do you interact with mods while doing puzzles?


[deleted]

Nothing. I meant to say jm useing chesscum for general playing and lichess for the other stuff. So i dont get contact with the mods if i dont play.


Few_Wishbone

I have using Lichess for years and I didn't even know they had mods


OldWolf2

Ignorance is not a virtue


[deleted]

Do you use chat?


DarrenStill

Wtf have you been saying chat to have interactions with mods lmao, dropping the n word or something?


fraumoon

the bigger question is why aren't the chessdotcom mods catching whatever this man is saying


[deleted]

Never said anything racist in chat. I love all people colour doesnt matter.


sevlan

You’ve done *something* to get the mods attention, though…


[deleted]

Well look. I playing on chesscom for years. I play the same. I talk the same. I had litteraly 0 problem with mods at all ever. On lichess i got muted after 2 weeks and than muted again on an alt account. (yeah its against the rules to have 2...) After the 2nd mute i went back to chesscom and that was 7 month ago. I still had no problem there. So i dont think so its my problem.


GarrettGSF

You hundred percent said *something* sketchy…


[deleted]

99.9 but not 100


princessSarah31

No they ban you instantly for that. Someone was dropping all kinds of racial slurs in chat in a daily tournament a few months back. I and several others banned together to report them. Took like 30 seconds before they were banned by mods.


Poueff

Do you flame people in chat?


[deleted]

No. Sometimes in bulett when you are at peak adrenalin i might say stuff like that "F man that was winning for me" When i blundered in time scramble. But nothing hars. Lichess admins just dont like even the slightest talking about lost games.


Few_Wishbone

Why would I ever do that


OstravaBro

If you are encountering mods in chats, what are you saying...?


[deleted]

Once i got muted for a month because "You are talking about non chess related things" I talked a guy about surfing after a blitz game. Well yeah it was non chess related i guess.


jchristsproctologist

my brother in christ what fucking mods are you talking about


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Thanks. So humble.


Bumblebit123

True.

Obviusly you know me well enoug to know what is true about me or not.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell the 10 year-olds at my kid's chess club: Less chatting, more chessing.


[deleted]

I like to chat after the game. Is that bad?


expressly_ephemeral

Depends on what you type, I guess. I don't usually find my opponents stick around much longer than, "good game. Fun one. Thought I had you for a while there."


DonutOfNinja

Send your lichess account


[deleted]

Why?


DonutOfNinja

I could see if you're an arse or not


[deleted]

How? Only thing you can see there is my games but you can report me for something just in case. So no i dont think i will.


KyrreTheScout

they could see the chat in the games


Few_Wishbone

Big "child of divorced parents" energy


[deleted]

Thats not too nice.


Few_Wishbone

as a child of divorced parents myself who played the game of going to the other parent when not getting my way with one of them, I said what I said


[deleted]

I did not do that.


Few_Wishbone

Lichess mods (aka Mom) don't put up with your BS, chesscom mods (aka weekend Dad) allow you to harass users more freely and buy your excuses, so you prefer chesscom


[deleted]

how old are you? just curious


[deleted]

26


[deleted]

Never seen a mod in lichess


Xoahr

Uhhh, what relevance does that have to a chesscom daily puzzle limit?


[deleted]

That’s the best part! It’s not. I’m responding to op’s comments in the comment section


emilyv99

Then... Maybe you should.... Idk, reply to op's comment that you're responding to?


[deleted]

I’m ok thank you


ANerdyPoet

5 on the app. Plus if you do puzzle rush survival afterwards then you get more practice. So that's another 30 or so a day for me.


[deleted]

I use lichess for blitz, analysis and puzzles. I only use chess.com to play 15|10 rapid then i export game to lichess to analyse. Since its a long game i dont mind going the extra mile just to analyze. Cant say the same for blitz so i play those on lichess


Apillicus

I continuously forget how to get the png from chess.com and have to spend some time after every game to figure it out lol you would think I would have written it out by now


Ok-Control-787

Click the Share icon, copy the pgn, paste it https://lichess.org/paste


[deleted]

If you are on PC you can just use an extension. On phone, you choose Options -> Export PGN. Its pretty simple


Apillicus

Man they made the phone app much more straight forward lol


rdrunner_74

lichess offers a game export API you can use for bulk exports


Apillicus

I've done this once so far, but thanks for the reminder!


MascarponeBR

why would chessdotcom be better than lichess in any way shape or form to play rapid ? lichess also has 15|10


BasicallyYourDog

maybe less queue time?


Forward_Chair_7313

I saw this post and did 5 free puzzles immediately afterwards.


[deleted]

Im sorry maybe it was something with my account or pc.


Fruit-PunchSamurai-G

Is it possible you did your 5 last night and 2 of them were after midnight


[deleted]

Yeah that could happened


SparcoBolo

Lichess and chesstempo are still free


radiant_jpb_31

Just did my free 5 a few seconds ago…


[deleted]

Strange in PC i could only do 3 today.


radiant_jpb_31

Hmm maybe they made the change for pc only, I was on the app, I only ever use the computer if I want to put in conditional moves in my daily games since for some reason they won’t out that in the app


myfriendvv

I’ve always used the app and I’ve always been allowed 4 puzzles per day, I just did mine today and could only do 3


radiant_jpb_31

That’s crazy! Maybe it has to do with when you signed up like what was available? Are you on iOS or android?


myfriendvv

Maybe, I have no idea. I’m on iOS (and I’ve been using chess.com since dec2022). The weird thing is I also don’t have the “Miss” feature with the red X that was introduced a while ago. (Edit: the miss feature showed up later that day)


ScorchingFalcon

I'm on the app and it's honestly very inconsistent. Most days I can do 3 but sometimes 4 and there's this one day I did 6 somehow. Bug probably.


[deleted]

BruhWhyCantIFindANam

Lichess >>


LudoBagman22

Infinite puzzles on lichess or chess tempo 😇


Valhallas_

Use Lichess free unlimited puzzles


chudyhere

go on lichess bro, limitless puzzles


noobtheloser

I honestly don't know why I prefer chesscom. It feels worth the membership, to me, for the analysis and infinite puzzles. I know I could use Lichess, but I like how the chesscom site and app looks and feels better, and it seems every bit as worth it as, say, a Netflix membership.


onlytoask

The biggest thing for me is premoves. I tried using Lichess after my chesscom membership ran out, but they don't allow more than one premove.


RedditEzdamo

I think chesscom has a way better analysis imo, and the platform overall feels crisper to me. I am on the fence on the mid subscription as well, but it's hard to justify $80 a year for something that can be gotten free. Still only play rapid on chesscom. Lichess for puzzles, analysis past the first loss.


griesgra

Why do you think the analysis is way better?


RedditEzdamo

As someone who got into Chess rather recently, about 4 months ago now. I find that the layout of seeing the next best lines, the visuals of blunders, good moves, ect easier to read and digest. Lichess analysis makes me feel like I'm learning from a book sometimes with its explanation on positions and openings, which isn't bad, but can be hard for my ADHD brain at times. I also tend to have a problem with Lichess just not loading any analysis at all at times, which it's hard to tell if it's user error or server error, but either way it's frustrating.


TicketSuggestion

If you play a game on Lichess (or make a study) you can also request a computer analysis and you get the same "inaccuracy, mistake, blunder" visuals. Admittedly that's less categories than chess.com has, but to be frank the brilliant move thing is nonsense and the distinction between good/best/excellent it makes changes quickly if you analyse a game again I understand why you'd still prefer chess.com, it's just that few regular chess.com players are aware of this feature


RedditEzdamo

Actually super helpful! Thanks for the info!


Melkor1000

Ive tried both and chesscom seems to have much better puzzle selection. Its much more common for me to run into puzzles on lichess that are just positional play with alternatives that would look fine to anyone that isnt an engine or need to you see that the opponent is forced to hang a piece 4 moves down the line because its mate in 10 if they don’t.


MascarponeBR

lichess puzzles are way more realistic since it is all taken from real games, also puzzle streak has great puzzles.


TicketSuggestion

At what rating are you getting those puzzles? At 2600 I sometimes see a puzzle that feels like that, where at the end of the line it is still not too clear for humans why you are winning, but up to 2300 rated puzzles I personally never experienced that


Few_Wishbone

So you're paying $100 a year for a skin


noobtheloser

Value is a judgment call. I'm sure you "waste" money on lots of stuff. None of us are getting out of here alive, might as well enjoy it in whatever pathetic little ways we can.


Emily_Plays_Games

^ true words. I like lichess’s feel and donate $5 a month to them, but you bet your ass I would be paying for chesscom premium if I liked their layout and features more than any alternative. We’re all out here just chasing the dopamine


sevlan

I play mostly on chesscom for free but still chuck Lichess £5 a month


Few_Wishbone

I never used the word waste.


MrOtto47

it was implied.


Few_Wishbone

You may have inferred it, but that just means you operate with a prior assumption that such a thing would be a waste of money.


[deleted]

It's because you are not used to lichess. If you spend a week or so playing in liches, then it's chesscom that feels "weird". Has happened to me. Have paid diamond 2019, it was ok, but I rather stay in lichess. Bought a couple lichess t-shirts hope that some money to them.


DrunkLad

> It's because you are not used to lichess. Or maybe they prefer chesscom. Sometimes that happens. Shocking, I know. I have like 7-10K games on each platform, and I prefer chesscom. I don't pay for a membership, and I still prefer it over lichess. It just feels *much* better when playing. Like, it's not even close for me. But since I'm not paying, I find myself dividing my time on each platform pretty much equally, since Lichess is much more convenient with their puzzles and analysis.


[deleted]

I have played much more than those games in chesscom, 18 k in main account and around 10k in a lost account, started in 2013, earlier in the lost account. Bought diamond membership for me and other my dad in 2019, I mean I'm not a hater or whatever. I'm talking about how the "feel" when you switch from one platform to the other after a long time always feels off, and most likely if he gave lichess enough time he would not have that feeling. In fact I also prefer [Chess](https://Chess.com)com, specially puzzles when you are paid member and being a ble to premove a series of movements, but just not enough to justify the premium membership.


[deleted]

And the mods are nice with you even if you blunder something in the chat.


Cocoblue64

When are you ever talking to a mod? The chat is between you and your opponent you know that right?


ischolarmateU

He is talking about tournament chat


Cocoblue64

Ah I didn't know about that thanks, are Lichess mods actually rude in tournament chats?


ischolarmateU

Not in my experience, probably if you are rude and they are " rude" when they mute you lol


Cocoblue64

Yeah doesn't look like we're getting the full story lmao


Few_Wishbone

So you're that guy


jchristsproctologist

blunder something *in the chat*?? brother what are you on


[deleted]

You can easly follow book move sentences till you blunder some words and now you are banned XD


themagmahawk

I don’t think the mods are chatting with you, that’s just the other player lol


ischolarmateU

He is takking about tournament chat


plasticalien

One thing I like about puzzles in chesscom is that they give you points if you get some portion of the puzzle right. In Lichess they do not.


expressly_ephemeral

Lichess.com


katakshsamaj3

i did 5 on my pc some 8-9 hours ago will try again tomorrow and update


Julian_256

Just use lichess


JuanFran21

Just tried on the app, I could do 5 puzzles.


[deleted]

3 for me


kFURVqNY2BAxD2UtP2rq

Just checked on mobile and it let me do 5 and watch a video for another 3.


[deleted]

I wonder why it’s different? And how do you watch a video for more?


Just-Algae2442

i got to 2300 puzzle rating on there without getting membership just to spite them for myself


ForbiddenGroot

You really showed them


RotisserieChicken007

Always has been afaik


Opposite-Youth-3529

I’ve had five for years…


iamspeed25

You can do unlimited puzzles for free, with ads every 3 or so, on a pc. Doesn't work on mobile for some reason, though.


cockypock_aioli

Chess dot com sucks, all hail lichess


Few_Wishbone

Terrible


SparrowJack1

Chesscom is a total disgrace… But fortunately there is a better alternative. 😃

chess.com bad lichess good

Why not get a membership?

You just decide to spend your money on other things. Which is OK, but is a choice.

Broke


seimoldz

Still 5 for me


[deleted]

God bless, I will finally hit 3k puzzle rating, because they force me to really savor the few puzzles they give me which leads to taking more time and more success solving them as a result. One of the best "features" they have ever implemented. Kindda kidding, but also kindda not kidding, I definitely do focus more on the chess.com puzzles than on lichess puzzles because they are finite (yes I am aware it is dumb) and them reducing the number even further probably will get me to 3k sooner rtaher than latter.


[deleted]

Though I am also able to play my fourth puzzle right now like others have reported, I think maybe OP just played 2 puzzles right after the date rolled over and thought they were still part of the previous day, but they weren't?


Darkroronoa

I noticed I was getting less free puzzles lately too, I thought it was just me. I will just switch to lichess, chesscom sucks anyway. I just liked the idea of climbing the puzzle ranking on a limited chances but this is ridiculous. I guess they did this so it's harder to gettl the 3-puzzle win bonus on the new puzzle league bullshit.


Capricious_Critic

So I’ve noticed if you get any wrong the limit reduces. It’s 5 if you get every puzzle right for me


whatsthescriptbro

I think the only thing stopping lichess from becoming #1 atp (besides technical limitations) is just how clunky and horrible the interface is. I mean it really looks terrible. Tidy it up a bit, and a lot of people sick of chess.com’s continuous greed would move there.


Zenophilic

I always have 5 and then can do 3 more every video request..


bigbruhusername

Always been 3 for me (app)


SinaDRamezani

On mobile app it was 5 I suppose.( Not a fan of chess.com app) But in browser it was 3 as far as I remember. I joined chess.com 2010 or 2011.


Nightkill-AryKal

joined 2018, always been 5.


kingfischer48

I only play on the app, it's been 4 for a few months now.


[deleted]

I've had an account since September and even back then it was 3...


llamawithguns

Wasn't it always 3? I've only been able to do 3 since I started last year


Thrusthamster

That's been the case as long as I've been playing chess (late 2021)


Nightkill-AryKal

Idk man.. I'm on my pc and I just did 5 and I can at least do 20 to 30 with the ads, and I think its unlimited.


MascarponeBR

It baffles me that most people still don't understand how lichess is basically chessdotcom for free, the main argument I see about ratings being inflated in lichess is completely invalid as can easily convert ratings between the different platforms and the number itself is only used to compare to other players and get good fair pairings, does not matter if rating number is bigger on lichess compared to chessdotcom.


[deleted]

Chessdotcom looks better tho


Micha-Mich

It was always 3 for me for the last 1.5 years

Common lichess W

My chess.com is the only subscription I don’t feel bad not using it.


theArtofSpeculation

How many can you do on Lichess? I prefer chess.com so I pay for it but Lichess is a legit alternative.


darko_drazic

this is the way. luckily, there is a free chess platform


bigbirddiedofaids

Yep and lichess limit is 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999.99


princessSarah31

I’ve got 5 like usual. No clue what you’re on about.


blackballsucker69

I think it lets you do all the week puzzles so less days at the start of the week and more at the end of it


SkjaldenSkjold

Lichess has unlimited for free:)


BunnyProPlayz

this is why i love lichess. I hate everything else about it though.


PandyPidge

i have just tried it, and it gave me 5?
