I'd like to suggest we stop featuring GM Avetik_ChessMood on the homepage.
His posts are all product placement for chessmood.com.
If lichess wants to brand itself as an ad-free site, it shouldn't feature these posts.
Good article!

I don't agree. The articles are on chess, they are intelligent and helpful and useable without buying a chess course. So it's far more than just another ad on soap...
Easily the Best Article is the one you read...Study... Practice...Fix... This is one of the Best Articles on Lichess... Study Practice Fix. Study Practice Fix. STUDY PRACTICE FIX...Amen!
The Secret Sauce Is You.

Actually very usefull article after quite long time on blog in here. But it still has one problem, please don't use gifs so I can read the article without getting distracted all the time.

But he's the founder of chessmood. He has a direct financial interest in getting you to use chessmood, which isn't disclosed when he recommends chessmood in the article. That doesn't seem right.

Fair enough I guess but if you couldn't tell this guy had a vested interest in Chessmood by the time the first mention was over, I don't really know how to help you
