It's not hard to win a "won" game as long as one plays in the same fashion as he/she did before gaining an advantage (checking for opponent's threats, looking for ways to cause the opponents problems, etc.) Also trade as much as possible.

Probably not if you are playing against 1300 rated opponents but when you get above 2100 it is the most difficult thing in the world. Your opponents are super strong and will find resources that a 1500< player who will collapse fairly easy whenever you have an advantage will never find. However the higher rated you get the more difficult it becomes to win a winning position

I mean, objectively it's a little silly.
But probably makes more sense given the mental state of the players. The defender may be working hard too, but has no expectations and nothing to lose. The defender can't error, at least not in a way that changes the ultimate assessment.

Precisely, and that is the aspect of chess I struggled with most in recent years. As I said in the video there can be no excuses for not winning a won position yet it happens way too often and it is the most painful thing chess as far as I am concerned.
Enjoy- something that will help you "save" many won games - a you tube presentation, survey and a winning technique method that is applicable to all winning positions.
