A Difference between Chess.com and lichess 😳

[zaimnaqvi]

Lichess logic makes more sense to me ngl

[LousiestPlayerEver]

BTW, Lichess is not a company but a non-profit organisation.

[DespotismBloxFruits]

Wow, they actually explains it thank you.

[GuillaumeT]

I'm French, I play chess, and I knew nothing about lichess being from France 😅

[frafstet]

A new example of the Us not following what everybody does just because.

[UrnestHemingouey]

Also lichess has the same functions, but for free

[SuliXbr]

It makes so much more sense to follow fide rules.

[BWeManX]

So basically if you sac the rook you get a draw, but if you get flagged with the rook still alive then you lose 🤔🤔

[BlitzWizard]

this rule feels so badass and cool in lichess time scrambles

[mowem]

i remember it happened to magnus and alireza otb.. alireza raged and complained to the arbiter i believe..

[PorkerChop]

Imagine rook vs knight and the person with rook has 3 seconds and sacrifices the rook as much as they can but the person with the knight doesn’t take the rook and flags them 😂

[itayisme]

If you got flagged you should be be considered in the worst possible position so lichens rules are better

[ajaysabarish]

I think lichess follows FIDE, but not becuz its founder is french but FIDE is the international chess organization

[progmetalkd]

I think this happened to Alireza in a over the board game, a rapid tournament a few years ago. he wanted to claim a draw after his clock run out, but the fide police gave his opponent a win because checkmate was posible by his opponent only if Alireza helped him puting his king at the corner, which he said he will never do because he is so smart

[mudababy]

wow and I was so confused about that rule but in the end the reason is that I play on both sites

[OasiSValo]

This is why I have both apps/websites on my favorites, because I like to switch between them

[randomname]

According to fide in this type of position if you’re worried about losing on time you could call an arbiter and they’d claim it as a draw though.

[shreyasherale]

Magnus vs Alireza controversy was based on the same thing.

[calvingakunju]

magnus v firouzja in that one blitz match

[IceBrys]

Your videos singlehandedly keeping me interested in chess when my motivation lacking at times
