Looking at some of the posts about the Take Take Take announcement, I'm not really sure what benefit there is to playing on TTT. The AMA seems to tout social features (which both Lichess and Chesscom already have), and personalized coaching feedback on games.

It seems to me that there are already lots of sites - some vibe coded and some backed by real companies - offering LLM-based feedback on chess games. I've yet to try one that was actually any good. Feedback is either super simple and obvious like Chesscom coach, or spitting out computer lines that are not well-explained to the human player. Interested to know if anyone has tried this on TTT yet and if the feedback is actually useful.

If nothing else, I'm happy to see Lichess get some much-needed financial support.

Hey everyone, I want to work on something and wanted to see if there's actually interest before I go too deep into building it.

Basically it's a cross-platform chess profile hub. You link your Lichess and chess.com accounts and get one unified profile basically a URL where all your stats and stuff are.

Stuff that would be included:

— A graph showing your improvement in rating across both platforms in one timeline to you see your chess growth and not just per-platform growth (avoiding tilt or high win streaks and bring clear and "clean")

— Win/draw/loss breakdowns, performance by time control, most played openings, all merged

— A private Style DNA card that categorizes how you actually play (aggressive, positional, tactical etc.) based on your real game data — only visible to you, think of it as a self improvement mirror

— A rival tracker where you add a specific opponent and track your personal record against them across both platforms combined

— Clean public profiles with a shareable URL and proper head-to-head comparison pages between any two users

Accounts are obviously verified.

Im thinking of also making it so that you can flag really suspicious accounts on my site and when someone plays against them they get a warning. This would also occur if they have like an 85% win rate in the past 12 games.

Would you actually use this? Anything you'd want that I haven't mentioned? Honest feedback welcome, including if you think it's pointless.

Its going to be free of course at first

Why would black be awarded the win on time when they did not have a way to checkmate? Why wouldn't this be a draw?

Is this a Stockfish problem, or a Lichess problem?
