Lichess is truly on a class of its own. It delivers a better service than any of it’s alternatives (in my opinion), and it’s actually 100% free with no BS. Fun

Funny enough, I’ve donated around $30 in total which is $30 more than I would’ve ever thought of spending on a chess site. Hats off to thibault and the open source community for creating such a wonderful gem.
- dav43 5y agoLikewise, I found myself donating because - for me - it’s generated great value.
- heinrichhartman 5y agoJust donated $30 myself. I use this site every week. It's such a great product! Here is the direct link: https://lichess.org/patron https://lichess.org/patron PS: I also donated a few month of CPU time to fuel their Game Analytics a while ago: https://lichess.org/help/contribute https://lichess.org/help/contribute
- ycombinete 5y agoI donate a tiny $5 a month. Not bad for a service I use everyday. Another way to help is to host an analysis server[0]. I give them one core of my old i3-5100. It’s easy to setup, and I like knowing that it’s chugging away 24/7. [0] https://github.com/niklasf/fishnet https://github.com/niklasf/fishnet
- chengiz 5y agoIn case you're using paypal, it seems paypal takes 9% of that $5, see their costs spreadsheet posted elsewhere here. If you can, try donating bigger amounts less frequently. The fee goes down to 3% at ~$60.
- alisonkisk 5y agoDonate annually or one lifetime gift do the money goes to the recipient instead of the finance industry.
- loevborg 5y agoJust donated $50 - after 2500 blitz games, that's only 2 cents a game.
