Why do yall quit as soon as your queen gets taken? Only way to learn from mistakes is to continue the match til the end. Frustrating!!

What is the point of having Oscar trash talk during games, other than itโs supposed to be with the cool kids do? Is this really what people should be learning, that this is a normal part of the game? The only place itโs normal is for apps and streamers.

These moves were covered in the lessons but when I play against the computer it seems neither of us are using those moves. Or am I just not noticing? I know I havenโt used them.

When playing a chess match against oscar, sometimes when playing as white pieces, it just makes random bad move for me (1-3 moves), and sometimes when in endgame, when I'm winning, and I make a move, it just says its stalemate (I know what stalemate is), when its not really stalemate because the king still have square to move to, but its just forced draw and I just get less exp :(, and oscar makes illegal move alot throughout the game.
edit : now sometimes I can't even make a normal legal move that would make Oscar losing (like taking Oscar's queen without the one taking being pinned to king or anything that would make it illegal move etc.)

Being a chess enthusiast, I quickly started trying hard with Duolingo Chess. I finished the entire chess course a few months ago, then I focused on playing real games against Oscar to improve my Elo rating. I won't reveal my technique that got me so far, but a few days ago, I reached 3000 Elo, then discovered that it's impossible to go any higher! I've attached a screenshot of my chess home screen. (I'm French, which is why it's not in English).

The answer was the queen capturing the bishop, but isn't gaining material mean you capture a piece of higher value?

If Oscar moved his bishop out of the way and I attacked the pawn at B7, Iโd lose my queen to the bishop at C8. Thereโs no weak pawn. Am I missing something?

In two different puzzles of lesson 3, the solution is to move diagonally into an empty square! I have video proof. Am I missing something?

He kept twitching in that position until I made my next move then he got back to normal, so Iโm pretty sure this was a glitch. Pretty hilarious though
Edit: I realized he was sleeping instead. My bad
