I would describe Nate Solon as a Coach with an international master level rating, but with the knowledge and communication skills of a SuperGm.

Great ideas, as always. Is there anything specific to lichess that would make this preferable to other chess databases? I think I could do the same thing locally with, for example, Chess Studio (a nice and very inexpensive macOS app) or HIARCS?

I like Lichess because it's free, I find the interface intuitive, and it's the closest thing to a "one stop shop": you can play, review, and study all in one place. But of course you can do the same thing with any chess software, or a mix.

The free and one stop shop aspects of lichess make sense. Chessable has the automatic book of missed tactics from your own games — any thoughts on that? I like the idea of analyzing my own games for these key positions, though, as surely there is much learning value in that. I might try taking those positions and putting them into a Chessable course of my own — might be an easier interface for drilling the positions.

Really helpful! Thanks for sharing. Never thought about the flash card idea before

I definitely put a few of my OTB games in lichess studies but now I have different way to look at them.
