I (black) didn’t see the check and continued for 14 more moves. I keep missing these checks, any advice to get better on seeing them? Is it as simple as slowing down?

Pattern recognition. Maybe you have a hard time with visualisizing the range of a knight, but this one should be obvious immediately, to be honest.

Would you still not have noticed it if instead of the g4 knight you had a bishop on h4, or if your f7 pawn just wasn’t there? If these seem easier, you know what you should train.

I’m surprised you are above 1000 with this thought process, to be honest.

This. I’m not a high rated player shitting on a lower one either, basically just a very casual player that mainly passes time on flights playing offline chess vs a bot, lol.

  1. the square is occupied 2. the queen goes to melee with the king.

Neither of these matter in delivering check. It’s a pretty strange thought process that may be good to develop if it literally prevents you from seeing this basic pattern that others can see in a split second.
