| General Chess Discussion - Lovely puzzle from my game#4 Yes, that was pretty hard for me. For me the way I solved it was to realize what square you need to close off, and then realize it can't be done via conventional means. But I dont spot this if not tol… | ArtNJ |
| Game analysis - Why white plays b3 and a4?#2 Well, its not like bb7 is a remotely good spot for the bishop unless white exchanges pawns, is it? White doesn't get much if any advantage out of b3, but its not like the other candidate moves (nf1, a… | ArtNJ |
| Game analysis - Is this a good idea?#2 16. ... g6 was the problem. Something like qb6 looks fine. If the pawn gets to h6, only then g6; after the bishop sacs on g6, the black rook will go to g8 and together with the bishop cover all the sq… | ArtNJ |

| General Chess Discussion - Why is it that Im way better at classic chess then at rapid ?#8 Nope! I think the explanation is simpler.

| Lichess Feedback - Did They Eliminate The Take back Request Option? #1 Or am I blind??? I've granted and gotten take backs in the past. | ArtNJ |
| Lichess Feedback - I can't create a rated 960 correspondence game for some reason?#6 Well. That is an observation, not a reason. I can't think of any logical reason not to allow it. Maybe it is just a tad of extra work that they haven't gotten around too? Or maybe they dont think ther… | ArtNJ |
| Lichess Feedback - I can't create a rated 960 correspondence game for some reason?#4 Time control doesn't matter, tried 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, I just cant make a rated correspondence game. If the reason is cheating, I think that is whacky. I see people with rated standard chess corres… | ArtNJ |
