Ok im so bad

Man, people on lichess are really a lot nicer than on chess.com

Poisonous Knights

Something just clicked

Was at a plateau at 1000 for the longest and I was convinced it was impossible to get better at chess. Losing a game would instantly make me irritable, which caused even worse play. So I fixed my mood and started keeping a clear mind while playing and my rating SKYROCKETED. I would suggest every new player train their psychology if you really want to improve your chess, it’s very underrated.

Brilliant analysis

I hate this so much.

How on earth is this brilliant? he took my bishop and resigned after fxe6, and show moves shows Qe3 as a followup to that, but I'm not seeing how that 's brilliant

Why can't my king capture rook

I allowed rook to capture a knight thinking I could capture his rook with my king since my rook had his knight pinned to his king. Is there a rule I don't know about?

Got into this position in a game. White to play.

I liked this win, I think I am improving slowly
