TTT will use Lichess as the infrastructure for their new play zone rather than building a proprietary platform. Players on TTT will create Lichess accounts and play on Lichess servers, retaining all privacy and data protections. TTT will contribute financially and increase Lichess's visibility. Lichess frames this as a win for open source, healthy competition against Chess.com's dominance, and a model similar to how Linux powers commercial services. The post also addresses community concerns about user data, autonomy, Peter Thiel's indirect investment in TTT, and whether Lichess's independence is compromised. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
