Thank you Lichess for all you do

is Fide non profit?
so what is that money they take from people to make them join to the Tournamets which called entrance expense?

And thank you for not requiring an email confession for cheaters to create a new account under the pretense of privacy and then singling out and leaking an individual's emails to a publication at an opportune time with the hopes of further damaging another player's reputation.

To lichess! I will never play on another site that doesn't have similar morals.
