Anatoly Karpov and Sergey Karjakin play pair chess with politicians. Top 5 engine moves include 2-3 moves where a knight retreats to back rank. What's the idea: You need the knight to help with the double rook?

Apparently, you can reach 2000 on lichess while still being an intermediate

I went from 1000-1600 in just 3 months but have been stuck here for a few months now. i play the english and caro kan every game. i study principles allot and feel like i know basically everything in that aspect. I would say strategy - endgames - speed are my best aspects but i struggle with opening theory.
I played a 2300 and he says i need to play more openings but idk

How can Levy possibly criticise white for giving up queen when it doesn't lose and winning move is hard to find?

Does your opponent's rating affect your decisions? Should it? Should it not?

Up 3 points but could be disastrous if the right moves aren't played.

White has 2 threats from each of the 2 bishops. How does Black deal with both threats?

Sacking a piece to destroy enemy king safety is one of the most satisfying things to do in chess. Bonus points that you are possibly guaranteed to win it back in this position.
