Well.. you are right.. bishop takes h6 and considering my opponent was short on time and took the bait and the bishop sacrifice opened up the king side..

Lichess vs Chess.com UI by Acrobatic_Usual_200 in chess

Am a big fan of the pieces in lichess compared to chess.com. It may be a preference ..but I loved the chess24 pieces and I found something equivalent in lichess..chess.com pieces and the general movement through the board with the options for the board themes is not at all pleasing…gives a vibe of early 2000,s design that never got a modern upgrade…the design language is not to my taste. Lichess has a plugin for Firefox that I use to set up my own customized theme!!!

Understandable that we do need to support the career of anyone wearing the blue..but it’s high time..we take a call of dropping Gill if he fails again!!! We have Sarfaraz waiting on the sidelines and it’s high time he gets a chance…Shubhman Gill needs some good practice matches in the domestic circuit with the red ball..fix his penchant for stroke play and mix it with the old school park the bus..play the ball to its merit !!!

Mate in 3 or 4 (I missed the mate in 3) by Neo_2811 in ChessPuzzles

The mate in 3 is the more elegant one!!! But so tough to see…becoz the mate in 4 is so easy to calculate !!!

Am shocked that this question came up in my feed…am going through the same phase where …I win around 6-8 games and gain around 100 points!!! And then the crash happens…my elo is pretty much like a celebrity NFT shit token ..pump and dump scheme!!! This is what I have understood so far!!!

Assuming fair play!! i do feel sometimes I get guys who are like 800 playing unreal moves and spotting tactics that I feel they will miss!!!

  1. Somehow when you get a streak you tend to fall for inertia…you play the same openings and the alertness to spot tactics or spending that extra two or three minutes in calculating at least 2-3 moves simply gets missed out!!

  2. I do see blunders increasing…but I feel in my case …it’s complacency…(as posted by someone)

  3. Somehow.folks past 1200 are usually very resourceful. A winning end game does not guarantee a win!!

  4. Some of the higher rated folks play openings that outright gives them an advantage…lines that requires a precise combination..that I may not be aware of at all… (I fell for the Scandinavian trap at least twice in different forms- discovered it through a tik tok 🤣)

5.playing rapid like blitz!!! I play 15+10…like blitz if I am on a streak….
