Hello,
I am curious how many fide titled players there are on this site. Milacek is the only GM I've seen so far and I have only seen two IMs (Squarology and Spinaltap). Are there any other IMs and GMs on this site besides those mentioned?
There might be a few, but probably not many.
The reason why you will find so few titled players here is because the other sites either offer them free membership or pay them to play there.
The few titled players who are here probably really liked the websites's interface and the overall open source philosophy. Unfortunetely there are not many players at such a high level, even I have trouble finding similar rated oponents at times, and I'm not even close to IM level.
But I really believe this site is going to grow a lot in the future, simply because it is the better overall product:
(i) Zero cost for full membership;
(ii) No ads;
(iii) No plugins, no downloads, just log in and play;
(iv) Most modern interface, and constantly being updated and improved;
(v) Active developers who actually listen to sugestions from the comunity.
Time will tell, but I think they are doing everything right.
I agree
When I become a GM you may add me to the list. ;)
I love lichess, and I really do hope that it grows more. I think it's beautiful what this site has accomplished here, and hopefully more people will somehow see this and join. (and hopefully more titled players will join too)
Especially in the current internet, a totally free and ad-free game site is both rare and wonderful.

Hello kids. Greatest Gm of all time is here, Grandmaster Vorapsak!
I'm do this for free, just for fun. I am very strong, my skills are incredible. For players in my circle I'm a deadly disease. In the history of chess you've never seen such prominence. If there are other Gm's on the site - can't wait to face you, mutilate you. I represent intellectual violence.
From on top of the game, best regards, Grandmaster Vorapsak.
I dont think you are a real GM because your ratings for blitz and classical chess are god awful. I think that I could beat you in a game of chess even if I played you with my hands tied behind my back and my computer turned upside down. I could beat u by clicking with my feet. Best regards,

Humble GM here, to answer all your questions ...
My ratings suck, but only because I'm so ... humble. *harrumph*
Lord Butternoobes,
You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended.
Submit with honor to a duel with me, and your naive confidence gets crushed by my dominance.
I'll call your bluff, I will crush you easilly, I eat such players like a cannibal. My poisonous darts sickening, best believe.
Any contender, testing the Great Master Vorapsak, will become just a small toy in my hands. No doubt, I will conquer the whole world.
