Design tip: Ditch the chess CAPTCHA.

Framing an inconvenience as defeat might be part of the problem.

Does OP know the puzzle is to eliminate bots that spam forums so only humans can post?
EDIT: sry I was just trying to ask if you knew the reason for the puzzle or if it was just for fun. The puzzle is there so no bots can spam. If you don't want to solve the puzzle just go to where it says help and it will show the best move.

It seems that people are only responding with jokes or ad hominum insults...
Or they clearly don't understand what I'm writing.

In that case...
Give it another shot folks...
It's not so difficult. <3

I'm trying to give you honest advice, albet softened with humor, yes. Maybe not helpful but the advice stands.

Thinking isn't an inconvenience. It's a blessing. Treat it as such and get comfortable with being uncomfortable and you'll level up 1000x.

Thanks but...
Steve Jobs always wore the same clothes every day.
Why? Because we only have "energy" to make a certain amount of decisions per day.
After that amount is reached, our decision making becomes worse.

GTD (Getting Things Done method) is similar in that it tries to keep a clear head.
Every distracting thought is written down and processed later.
So you can keep focusing on the matter at hand.

This type of CAPTCHA is funny but too much for just determining if I'm AI or not.

I'm not an expert on Steve Jobs and I'm not saying this is him buuut: tbh if I was autistic af and stressed about being judged for my clothing choices I would 100% say something similar instead of the truth. Remember, he was also a master at creating brand and manipulating perception. Every answer he gave about himself was designed to strengthen Apples stock share.

Which is all well and good but don't confuse gospel for fact. You have more brain power and mental flexibility then you give yourself credit.

I think that after solving one it should cover you for an hour or so.

He was just 1 example, there are more examples.
And my own experience of course.

I think for every reply I have to another checkmate.
Why else would there constantly be a Captcha?
Let me check. if it works, then this is the end of this reply...

Nope, doesn't work that way.
