When you pretend you're good enough to calculate this

uhm makes sense for a 1k. i see what you mean
you just check because its satisfying
and you dont realize its mate
and go
"oh yeah, i totally saw that, im so good"
That's like just a little shy of half of my games: checking because it's satisfying.
Another fourth of the time I check because I don't know what to do.
And the last fourth is a "I see mate!"
