Does the staff perhaps have a connection with an IM/M that is prepared to assist us lower ranked players. I am thinking of a blog where we can post questions and then get answers from the pro's.

Or, you can post here. Some very strong players give advice in these forums.

It's always a full month, so would renew in mid-January

I saw a chess streamer post about his "Your 2023 year in chess". I could not find this for my own account on the website or on my app. Can anyone help me find it? It seems interesting.

Your recent games were 2|1 so after each move 1 second is added to the moving player's clock. So if they were moving quickly enough that's certainly possible

Every time I make a move I have to hit the check button. I do I stop it?

You did not have enough material to checkmate your opponent regardless of how much time you had so the game is a draw.

Select gear (lower left Setting icon) and All Settings. Then select GamePlay and towards the bottom in Daily Game section. Uncheck 'confirm moves'

But that is a GOOD PROTECTION from mouseslips and changing your mind when you notice you just blundered. Don't ask me how I know or in jive talk .... DAMHIK
