| Lichess Feedback - Multiple solutions to a puzzle #2#3 Nf3 is a mate in 1, though, and succeeds the puzzle for me. Edit: Had the board swapped around, I was looking at Nc6#. | Linsolv |
| General Chess Discussion - Difference between Strategy and Positional play?#7 Strategy is the formation of long-term plans which cannot be securely completed in a matter of only a few turns. We have certain ideas which are common enough that they are considered "strategic advan… | Linsolv |
| General Chess Discussion - Lichess says I am rated 800, can anyone kindly help me improve?#6 As a sidenote, playing slower is important. Playing moves off-the-cuff can be fun, but you're not all that likely to improve doing it. So start by trying your best to make good moves in the first plac… | Linsolv |

| General Chess Discussion - Stockfish says i just played the "perfect" game.#14 It can have a lot to do also with being familiar with the positions you're in. I've had 3-4 'perfect' games, all of them against the Giuoco Pianissimo, because I played a similar line, and they played… | Linsolv |
| General Chess Discussion - How can I improve openings and opening aggressiveness?#2 The basic opening fundamentals are the same regardless of what you're playing. Develop your pieces before you start trying to find tactics. Knights before bishops. Make sure you're defending your pawn… | Linsolv |
