Okay, I get that one, I am not a admin, or that two I don't control you but please! Stop this three times or you are cursed forum thing. I am not blaming anybody who was tricked by this as long as they stop doing it. Just stop doing it because I and probably everybody else on USChess are getting tired of getting fifty notifications a day from all these posts. You are not cursed and just let it be, if you find the person who caused this whole palooza please report them. Once again, while I am not an admin, I am just a concerned and annoyed member of chess.com so I implore you to help solve this problem. Thank hou for reading this if you did.

My student Anish from the USA improved his rating by 360 points in just three months. This achievement was the result of one hour of dedicated work each day and consistent daily communication with me, his coach. The key factors for success are consistency and proper coaching guidance. The 20-40-40 formula from the Botvinnik School of Chess remains one of the best approaches to improving at chess. If you’re interested in enhancing your game, please contact me for more details. Thank you!

Dear Chess Friends, As I mentioned before, I started uploading a full Endgame Course to my Patreon channel. I know, it's very annoying when you play a really good game and you have a great advantage in the endgame but you don't know the right winning technique. If you want to improve your endgame skills, I highly recommend you to watch my videos in which I teach you theoretical endgame positions from the basics to the more complex ones. In this video, I'm talking about Opposite-colored bishops endgames.
