  Discontinued ♞ lichess.org: the forever free, adless and open source chess server ♞ [Moved to: https://github.com/lichess-org/lila] (by ornicar)

  

For those completely unaware (like I was), lichess [1] seems to be a chess server.

Not sure whether they need AWS scale and couldn't cut costs down from 420k a year to something cheaper. Naively, this seems like something MS could sponsor by providing long-term discount.

That said, I have no idea how much cheaper this would be on other cloud providers, or whether they even have the need to cut down costs. For all I know, they might be making 10x of that in donations.
