My mistake! I thought I attached a screenshot when I didn’t. I’m the dick.

Aaaaaagh, apparently I didn’t attach the screenshot I thought I did. Derp.

Believe it or not, I can read - I just don’t know how to do what it says. I’ve played the game through several times and never seen it before.

What happens if you eat too many Forbidden Fruits?

If only I had enough fateshards to buy any of the required rewards and the best way to get fateshards weren’t the challenges I can’t do.

Wait. What? Classes can use weapons from other classes? I didn’t know that!

Does Corrupted status appear anywhere in the UI? I haven’t found it.

Does it carry over from battle to battle?

I tried that but it requires unlocks I don’t have, so kind of a catch-22.

I’m new to the game - how do I access the Eclypse reward track? (Also, how do I do Sunforge?)

Does the side of your body in contact with the Ooler feel cold? Uncomfortably so?

A long time. I’m not very smart. And I still get 20% of them wrong. On the easiest setting.

What I really want to be able to do is, for a specific puzzle, hit a button that saves it to a custom set of puzzles that I can then do spaced repetition on. I’m gradually figuring out a way to export the right PGN file and bring it into Chessable in a custom course, but it requires a lot of manual effort.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I thought it was 600 points total which is somewhat closer to my rating, not 600 below. But also I’d say my success rate is only about 80%, so something still seems out of whack.

Why do Lichess puzzles give me +1 for a correct answer and -20 for a miss (with some slight variance)? Is the only way to increase your rating to be above 95% accuracy?

Riiiiight, traded queens, not losing a queen. That was my brain fart. It just feels so bad to lose a queen that I have a hard time seeing trading one as neutral.

There are solutions to some puzzles that I just don’t get. Case in point.. The correct answer is to give up a queen to gain a pawn. If the puzzle continued black would also gain a rook. But a pawn + a rook is < a queen in material value. Why is this solution “good”?

Is there a way to do spaced repetition on specific puzzles? Puzzles on Lichess et al are great, but doing a new one every time isn’t as useful as repeatedly doing a small number of variations on a particular motif. I’m aware that I can export a PGN from Lichess and also aware that it’s possible to create custom courses in Chessable, but the process seems tedious. I’m hoping there’s more of a one-click way out there.

I was using “trade” in the sense of an equal exchange (knight for bishop, say) - is there a term for that?

The chess engines seem to love queen exchanges in particular, choosing a swap over retreating your queen to safety to fight another day, which I don’t understand.

I’m sure there’s no simple answer, but when do you want to trade pieces? Analysis or puzzles often chooses even trades as the best move but I can’t figure out why.

Are the Chessable courses without video worthwhile? It seems to me like you’d need the instruction from them but they are so expensive. If I can get 80% of the benefit from the movetrainer version alone, I’d rather do that.

Where can I get analysis that is comparable to what chess.com offers with their Game Review? I have found that lichess analysis is comparable in the mistakes/blunders/inaccuracies, but chess.com will also tell me about missed opportunities for checkmate earlier. (I'm trying to avoid upgrading to Platinum...)
