We're sorry to seeis being shut down, as many people predicted after the takeover. Diversity in the chess ecosystem is essential to avoid stagnation. Lichess is a charity and will never be sold. Free chess, for everyone, forever!
History has been made! We have a new challenger for the World Chess Championship: Congratulations to 17-year-old Gukesh for winning the 2024 #FIDECandidates - the youngest player ever to qualify for the World Championship match!
FIDE Director General Emil Sutovsky said in an interview that FIDE is the only non-profit chess body. Surely it was an honest mistake, but Lichess, the second largest chess website in the world with more than 5 million games played daily, is a registered French non-profit.
Fun fact:uses Lichess's board and Stockfish as its engine, both free and open source. Every dish is better with cheese it seems! As a paid ambassador perhaps you shouldn't throw stones at the free things they profit from.

Tomorrow we'll lose our blue checkmark. We don't think spending charitable donations on the new Twitter "verification" is worth it! Nothing is verified, anyone can buy it. You might not see us in your "for you" tab, as Twitter isn't planning to promote those who don't pay.
