bro gotta say that ur one of the most helpful person in my life
My theory about consecutive mistakes is because humans tend to lock into a pattern they are planning to implement. Even after the first or second part of the plan is incorrect, their mind is still insisting on following that pattern. Good players realize the mistake quickly and change plans. You can see this in GM games even though they also fall into the trap of following what they had in mind. It's just human nature to be stubborn even when wrong.
I wonder who will be the first to comment on the thumbnail image...
King and Queen are swapped?
That's one...
h1 should be a white square?
The most parcimonius explaination is that the picture was taken behind a mirror. Would explain the bottom right corner and the K/Q swap ;)
@TurtleMat said in #8:

"Behind the mirror" like the reflecting side is on the other side? Or like "through" the mirror? How could that explain the swap? Should it not rather mean "in front and into"? ;)
No, the mirror somehow inverted the piece colors but not the square colors.
