I always forget how terrible I am at bullet chess until I play it.

I do the first 5 moves without thinking, then spend 10 seconds on a move, and then panic and do stupid moves

Bullet chess is Fiat shit.

I used to play chess everyday with chess dot com.

I switched to lichess for the above reasons.

But was completely unable to continue having my daily games. I could only do live games (on the phone mind you, not computer)

And now... I no longer play chess online. At all.

maybe you could use the website w/ a mobile browser?

How would I get push notifications? That's what helped me stay consistent and play regularly.

+1 lichess is great! been using it for 10 years

chessu.cash is a cashu faucet that I made at a hack day in Berlin last week. Solve chess puzzles and get small amounts of cashu (if the pot isn't empty)

I use Lichess as the source of the puzzles, so thanks to them!

Great site, much better than the proprietary alternative
