    I have a solution for your anxiety for playing in online chess against better people. Simply put a little blackout on top of their name. So you can't see who you're playing against until after the game. Since your entire anxiety is because of whom you're playing against, it would be logical to remove that out of the equation. You will literally have to play every game as if it was Schrodinger's cat. You will play with the knowledge that you can both be playing against the best and the worst players. And with that you will have nothing to be anxious about, because you will come into each game with the same mentality. "It's just a player."

      @@Cripplified Accuracy measures how similar your moves are to the ones a strong chess computer would have made in your position. An innacurate move is one that a chess engine would consider a poor choice.
      Most mistakes will register as being "innaccurate" but not all innaccurate moves are necessarily mistakes. Sometimes you make a moved based on information about your opponent that the engine couldn't possibly know and it works well for you even though its not what the engine would have done.

      No, you took the wrong conclusion. If the time wasn't there, they'd be playing completely different moves, so you can't conclude that the draw would've been there without time being there, as it would be an entirely different game.

    i found an alternative method to win at timestamp 5:58. So what happens is, bihop takes f2. if king moves to h1, then rook goes e1. if white rook takes the black rook at e1, then bishop takes e1, then what ever white does, the f file bishop goes to f1. If wana counter this, then the c file rook of white, should pin the black f file rook or alternative way, move the king to g1 rather that than h1. this was just a little thought i had
