Hey lichess, an old user here. The issue of "blunder and go afk" is just wasting my time. In classical format, when my opponents blunder, they don't even ask for a takeback they just go offline. I suggest you to add some sort of a button and when one of the two players press that button, the other has to respond within a minute or something like that(or else the other player wins). This is just an idea. Thank you.

This app has EVETYTHING!! Plenty of game modes to play from and a library of openings, endings and different scenarios are of great help. The community is also really active and I love the 3 games at once feature. The puzzles given to you according to your rating can improve your game significantly. And all this for free! Thank you developers.

This is my most-used chess app. I love that you can quickly play anonymous games without having to sign in. Servers always have plenty of active users, no matter the time format. You can later review the game with one of the most powerful chess engines out there. The puzzles are also (mostly) enjoyable: they're generated from games played on lichess. And ...it's all free!
