Hi, I've just won the community brawl last week, I got my 3-month extension to my diamond membership, but how do I redeem my 10 subs as I was streaming the event? Here is the tournament and VOD of me streaming the tournament (towards the end of the VOD):

I’ve been studying discovered attacks and discovered checks lately and put together a lesson using a few classic game positions. It helped me see the pattern more clearly in practical games.
Sharing it here in case others are working on tactics too. Would love your thoughts or additional examples from your own games.
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

Hi there @GurkanDem appreciate you sharing this!
Here’s an article (albeit last year, it is very likely that these tendencies do not change significantly for the future) with some info on most popular time controls:
