The streamers will be fine. Eric Rosen is one steamer who refuses to sell out to chess.com. Chess.com is beginner friendly but not fee, doesn't even let you analyse your games properly without a subscription.
I do see harm in it, considering their competitor is a non-profit which has done great things for the chess community. Including open sourcing many things like icons and webassembly chess engines.
- faeriechangling 3y agoI just sort of see Chesscom as expanding the chess market overall more than it's constraining the expansion of lichess. I'm pretty sure many of the people who eventually make their way to lichess end up at chesscom first.
