I solved it but probably only because I knew it would be a mate in 4

Optimissed-- I discounted 25...Ne3 after 26 Qf4 being complicated to calculate for this playing level. Following Chess.com's "CCT method", 25...Qf1+, 26 Bxf1 forced, Ne3+ (via B); 27 Qe4 (delays mate), Bxe4+; 28 any move, Rf1#; h3 for white is not possible as Ne3 controls g2.
Agree this game and post is a great learning moment.
Ethan_Brollier--I agree with your assessment of Chess.com's game analysis tool; accuracy & ELO are gimmicks too. I look at the analysis graph to see where the advantage changed, but not much else.

i solved it almost instantly, but thats because i knew it was an m4. its definately a lot harder to do so in a middle of a game

As far as accuracy goes, I don’t strive for 100%, but I aim to keep my games above the 85% line (essentially no blunders, <4 mistakes), and the estimated ELO I actually find to be quite accurate as well as entertaining. The graph is a nice UI thing, but you can find that by looking through the game in analysis and it’ll more likely also make sense as to how it happened
Oh nice
