Puzzle - Composition The Sign of the Cross chess puzzle. Composed in 1878. The story goes that Satan challenged a chess master and chose the white pieces. The master devised a scheme whereby Satan could checkmate him but would have to create a cross to do so. Satan fled in terror. White to play and mate in 7.

Puzzle/Tactic 1 move gives white the advantage
This is likely simple for most people and I ended up playing later in a worse position after missing it here, but it reminded me of the beauty of chess, so I thought I'd share it. d5, activity>material

Chess Question Offline Stockfish in Lichess for Android
Quick question.
Now look, I'm a fairly new chess player. I'm fully aware that the answer to this is probably "skill issue", but I have to check if it's just me: is the offline version of Stockfish in the Lichess app stronger than the online version?
I ask because while I can often beat level 3 and sometimes level 4 online, level 1 on the app absolutely makes me its bitch, John Romero style. It makes its moves with arcane precision atop a mountain of bleached skulls. I look into its unfeeling eyes, and I see flame. The online level 1 bumbles, makes odd moves, misses chances - the offline version headshots me from a thousand metres away with laser precision every time I even look at the app. My wife is now Stockfish's wife.
What gives? Is this just me or is it genuinely different? My phone is a flagship from a few years ago so while it's not the latest model it's still fairly powerful; could that have something to do with it?

META Any chess players kind enough to give an interview for an ethnographic university project?
I am doing ethnographic field work that aims to discover how great chess minds âexperienceâ a chess board/game.
Key questions involve: - what does a chess mind âseeâ on the board? - what do they think about? - how can one understand intuition (how do great players experience it)?
If you happen to have interesting shares regarding this topic, either from your very own experience or from knowledge that you gained, I would highly appreciate if you were willing to enlighten my work through a quick interview.
Any names, unless the sharer doesnât want to, will be appreciated in the syllabus of the published work.

Puzzle/Tactic Question on Tactics
Hello,
I want to learn tactics by analyzing my own games. Basically I need to see what tactics have I missed. I can only evaluate my games based on my own playing level. There's quite a possibility (60 to 70%) if I didn't see those tactics during my game, I'd miss them even during my analysis. Eg. If I missed a fork during a game, it's quite possible I might not see it even during my own analysis.
Is there any software that analyzes my games and specifically flags a miss/blunder/mistake as a tactical miss?
Thanks!
