1. Chess.com

Chess.com commits itself to becoming the premier social networking site for chess players worldwide. This online chess game site provides an online chess community where global chess players from all skill levels can learn, contribute, play, and build a community together.

Chess.com provides some free services, but more features are limited or unavailable until a user pays a subscription.

Visitors to the site can play chess on a chess live server and play chess-style games (called daily chess). The site also features chess games that are played essentially every day.

If you join a game, you win a prize. You can also play against chess engines (computer chess), and vote on chess moves.

2. Lichess

Lichess.org is probably the favorite chess server for all chess players. Lichess is a free service that you can use on desktop and mobile phones. It gets its funding from volunteers and donations. 

Thibault Duplessis found Lichess.org in 2010. It has slowly grown to become one of the best chess websites out there.

Lichess really nailed it on the playing interface, which is one of the best parts of the server. It is very compact and easy to use. It is extremely lightweight and reliable. So, it is ideal for the extremely fast-paced chess games that use bullets.

The playing interface is very customizable. You have over 20 options for the look at your board and pieces. You can even change the color and the sound that the playing interface sounds when you choose to play a game.
