I’d highly recommend everyone to try chess on https://lichess.org/
- You don’t need an expensive pc to play chess, you can play on an old pc or even on a mobile phone.
- No graphics card needed.
- Like other games there is no limited levels. Chess is unlimited, you can play your whole life & yet lot to learn. Chess never gets old
- Like other games there is no pro/prime/premium version of the game
- There is no addons/tweaks in the game if your skill is better then no matter how strong your opponent is you can defeat him.
- You can relate lot of things to practical life
Now about choosing chess platform
There is lichess.org, chess.com, chess24, chessbase. These 3-4 are well known chess sites.
But I love lichess because
