I found out chess.com has a tool that lets you make a gif of your games.
Here's a fun position I had a while ago.

It's incredible that chess.com, the self- proclaimed #1 chess community, doesn't offer adequate accessibility features.
They're lacking subtitles on videos, despite it being suggested over 10 years ago and with people volunteering to add them. There have been requests to add better accessibility for those with visual impairments as well as those who struggle with coordination.
There's probably a ton more that I'm missing. I don't mean to exclude them, I just don't have the energy to deep dive into it right now (due to my chronic illness).
Anyone more knowledgeable about this stuff? Anyone else notice this? Is there anything that can be done? Any other thoughts/insights?
Chess.com, if you're reading this, please consider looking into adding better accessibility features to your website, app, and all other related products/content.

Really pleased with myself for finding this move so let's do it as a puzzle so I can share my smugness. After Black's king move, what's the best move for white here? Answer is below the cut.
It's a knight sacrifice leading to a dangerous mate threat because it allows the queen in to g6...
Black missed rook f7 to prevent the mate in 2 from here, playing Qd8 instead.

Okay, so Duolingo and Chess.com have this whole joint promotional thing going on. Iirc, Duo and the other mascots have AIs you can play against in Chess.com? And you can win a free month of Chess.com if you finish a certain number of quests in Duolingo.
BUUUT! I'd say the highlight is Duolingo's IG account uploading a reel of Duo playing against gothamchess 🤣
