Hey there, I have loved these 2 Websites from heart but I am having some questions.

In the description of Lidraughts, it's written that Lidraughts is free forever like Lichess and I think the 2 developers are also on the same periphery. But, I dont understand that why there are some differences between two Websites?

Like Lichess always maintains the server as 0.1 ms most of the time regardless of the numerous Amount of Players online. So when I play UltraBullet (¼+0 Time Control) Games on lichess.org and my highest record was 24 moves without loosing any single second from the Chess Clock but in lidraughts.org, when I play UltraBullet Games as it's my Favourite, I observe that when I do a Premove, the pieces seems to move 1 second later or takes about 0.5 seconds minimum to move. I don't know why? I saw my Network Speed on lidraughts.org/lag but it's showing that my network speed is Good about PING 210 ms but the SERVER 1 ms.

Also, I am on lishogi.org and when I change the BackGround from the BackGround Option and select Transparent, the image appears like this: lishogi1.org/assets/images/background/landscape.jpg which is the same as of lichess.org which is: lichess1.org/assets/images/background/landscape.jpg but in lidraughts.org, it's slightly different which is a Wooden Table. So why only this website is Different among the three?

On the Inbox Section also, its's different from the other two websites. Infact Lidraughts is 3 years old whereas Lishogi is only 1 year old but still it has cope up with all the features on lichess including the "Teams I Lead Option". Also there's the "Multiple TeamLeaders" option which isn't there on lidraughts.

So my Last but Not the Least Question: "Is lidraughts.org intentionally Created different from lichess.org and lishogi.org"?

Thanks,

Both lishogi.org and lidraughts.org were started as a fork of lichess.org. This means they were created from the lichess sourcecode state at a certain point in time. Most of the differences you point out come from the fact that lidraughts.org was created much earlier, starting from lichess as of februari 2018. All the new features and improvements that were made on lichess after that have to be added on lidraughts manually. In februari 2018 lichess didn't have a v2 interface, no swiss tournaments, no team battles, old messaging interface, a lot less team options, and many other things.

I don't know when lishogi.org started, but it was surely much later, so more lichess features came with it for free. Considering that lichess has a team of full time developers behind it, it is almost impossible to keep up with all their code-changes, and add/maintain lidraughts-specific features at the same time. It's a matter of priorities and time available.

Regarding some of the specific points you mention:
- The server lag is measured only in whole ms, while lichess changed it to be in 1/10th ms at some point. When you see 1ms lag the real value is much lower, probably somewhere close to 0.1ms as well. Of course lichess has much more powerful servers (and much more expensive), but in terms of lag they should be similar
- The default lichess background picture for transparent theme had chess pieces in it, that's why we changed it. If you have a suggestion for a better picture than the current wooden one, we can always change it
- Multiple team leaders will be added as a feature on lidraughts soon
- The new lichess messaging / inbox interface will also come at some point, but doesn't have priority now

I can suggest a Cool Picture from Google. It can be applied to the Default BackGround of lidraughts.org!
