Instructive Chess in the Daily Rapid Arena

For a change, I join the Daily Rapid Arena at the start of the tournament. I hope to play some instructive games, but can I also win it?

Regarding why the frame rate skips during analysis, this is because Lichess analysis uses Stockfish in the browser to perform engine calculations locally, which is quite CPU intensive. If you are using the same CPU to stream, there's not enough CPU grunt to go around. Switching to a 2 PC streaming setup would solve this, but it could also be helped by getting a GPU (and ensuring your video encoding is being performed by the GPU). Stockfish will always calculate on CPU.

Zwischenzugzwang: an intermediate move you don't want to make.

2312 is a “decently high rating?” Then I suppose mine is indecently low 🤭
