Coach is crazy
I will google translate and copy paste an email that my coach sent me. For context: I gave him 3 days notice that I won't come because I was planning on celebrating my birthday on that day The mail Hello (friend and my names), Last Saturday, our U20 team lost the game against (other club) 2.5 - 3.5. Not only I, but also the other members of the U20 team were very upset that you let the team down. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time you've acted this way. The following rules apply to you with immediate effect: You must check your emails at least every three days. If questions are asked in an email, you must answer them immediately by email. Anyone who is unable to participate in a team competition must notify me by email at least one week in advance. Exceptions may only be made due to illness or other unforeseeable circumstances. I also issue this warning: If you fail to appear at a team competition again without notifying us in advance, I will not allow you to participate again. Any thoughts?

@Mihajlo Ilić I find it hard to believe that you didnt have a way of knowing more in advance this club match was taking place. Regardless it sounds like you didn’t give your coach any reason to think that you weren’t going to be in attendance. I agree that the coach is taking the repercussions too far but in this instance I agree with your coach

@Ashish Kindo there is a much stronger move than the knight check, black is doing fine after say Kf8
Openings
Endgame isn't difficult... openings are (for Me);

Games aren’t won and lost usually in the opening especially at lower ratings, but it happens all the time in the endgame as endgames can be very difficult
Find and explain the best move for black [Stahlberg vs. Vera Menchik (1935)]
In this position, Black had played Bc7 and later lost the game. What strong continuation had Black overlooked?

Qxb3 axb3, a2 and white will have to give up the queen to stop the pawn from promoting
