Yeah I hate it when I do this, it's just "Dummy, Checks Captures attacks, this move was so obvious it was a capture", I wish you luck with your games!

Checks Captures Threats is key to tap into all the time during the game. Especially in those critical moments.

Indeed. This is old. I should rename this to on Chess.com and then do a new one for Lichess. I did this years ago before I knew about Lichess. I have since moved over and rarely ever use chess.com now. What do you think?

@@highgroundchess I think that would be great! And you could note how you've changed your process over the years, and some things you've changed, like idk you started paying attention to your mental state like idk when you played this move you thought you could've done something but didn't because you were afraid and just played something passive for example, something nice I like to do is to tag it with "too passive" and normally this gives me an idea like "Oh, there are about 15 games that I lost because I was too passive", I'll be looking forward to the video if you do infact make it

He thinks it’s suspicious that Danya has a better performance than Magnus, the best player of all time, and then loses to Gotham, a streamer who can expose him. Then he compares it to OTB where you can’t cheat as easily as online, and the results show it’s pretty sus.
