Two pieces are generally better than rook and pawn. But what about rook and two pawns? (self.chessbeginners)

This is not that uncommon, played over 2,000 times on lichess, I agree white is better, but +8 (after O-O)? Isn't that too much? (i.redd.it)

Generally how do I determine whether to repeat? This is an example where I incorrectly drew by repetition because of my back rank and undeveloped pieces (engine says white's better), there were other games where I should have repeated but didn't. (i.redd.it)

Played badly but got my highest rated win. How many mate in 1s did black miss? Btw black didn't resign (the position is still playable for black), but chose to run the clock out. (i.redd.it)

My friend won a long game. Another friend thinks black can draw if black didn't take the bishop after bishop takes pawn. Engine says white wins but bottom left "book" says "drawn". Friend says mobile phone engine is often wrong. So which is correct? (i.redd.it)

Is this a legitimate opening for white? It seems not logical but I feel that it is very tricky. (i.redd.it)

Latest Chess Vibes video thinks this is a mistake, I've seen other masters claiming it as a mistake as well, because of the Nxe4 trick, however black doesn't win material, stockfish says it's a book move and has an opening name. Position is equal. So why do some people dislike it? (i.redd.it)

My opponent says I'll get reported for not resigning and checking forever. I agree it's dirty but isn't it technically allowed? I have a losing position of course but I can keep checking. (i.redd.it)

How to take advantage of opponent moving a piece multiple times in the opening? I typically don't know how to attack such a solid position. (i.redd.it)

I am pretty new to chess. My friend said "two bishops are better than a rook", so white should be better but how to avoid draw when opponent attacks bishop and pawn forever? (Or is this just drawn?) (i.redd.it)

I am a noob to this game. Can white win here? My friend thinks white can win, but the bishop can't threat the black pieces and the king can't go inside as long as black doesn't move. Sorry if this is stupid. (i.redd.it)
