<p>I am above average (by a small margin) on Lichess, and it sounds trite but to be average at chess you have to not make blunders.<p>Things like not leaving a piece hanging undefended, not falling into one move tactical traps (forks/pins etc.), and learning how to check mate.<p>You can achieve all of that by playing slower games, and doing some puzzles.</p>

<p>Firstly why wouldn't one be scared of an opponent that can just steadily press against me, winning a war by attrition?<p>Secondly, this is a naive mischaracterization of Ukraine, Russia, and the war itself.<p>Ukraine is a serious modern military power. One that very few countries could successfully invade. One with major support from other countries. Stormshadows, HIMARS, Javelins, NLAWs, Patriot systems are not home made drones.<p>That said, if Russia had managed to establish air superiority over Ukraine it would have probably won the war as fast as they intended to. But they didn't, and couldn't, because Ukraine isn't a guerilla outfit with home-made drones. They spent more than a decade preparing for this conflict.<p>It is also Ukraine, with defenders advantage, defending against a % of the Russian offense with their entire defensive capacity. Nearly 30% of Ukraine's GDP goes to defense currently. Russia's is somewhere closer to 7%.<p>Russia would probably like to do what they did to Chechnya when they got rolled out of there. Just sit back and shell the place. But because Ukraine's drones and long range artillery are a match or better than the Russians, they have to find other means.</p>
