Typical mistakes Nr 2 - Not picking up forcing moves

Thank you for the post! I enjoyed reading it.

In this passage, there is actually a third forcing move:
"You are not sure what to do after that, but (hopefully) you notice that Kh7 will give you two new forcing moves: 2. Qd3+ and 2. Qc2+. Whether they are useful, we don’t know yet - but they are forcing moves, so we want to notice them all."
Another exercise to finding forcing moves is to go through a game collection, stop at a diagrammed position, and before looking at the next move mentally noting (or writing down) the forcing moves for both players.

You are right, I forgot to write down Ng5+ :/
Он был самый лучший шахматист который один секунду победить умеет. Он любит когда форум пишет.
Он 10 турнир играл. Он много баллов взял а остальные мало баллов взял.
Very good post! Thank you! I wish all lichess posts were like this!
Is there anyone else that find the images of the chessboard over sized. Any way to cut them down by half?
I found a way: Right click the image to open in a new tab and press ctrl and spin the wheel of the mouse to resize the image.
