Arpitr20 is in imminent danger. Suddenly, DatSciolyBoi notices that something is up and the pawn that is currently Arpitr20 takes one of my pawns, missing the obvious move, however.

Danger still lurks... and so does my victory. Here's a neat little puzzle:

What do you think the fact that "we missed the obvious move" means. Something to do with the sigs/ finding out identity? Perhaps t there is more to the previous clue, my project only involved 3 words...

Maybe it's a red herring... or some code/cipher intermixed there... I don't see anything special in particular hidden in the code. I also think we missed something in the last clue as well.

TheChiScientist is being targeted. If you look at the letters that are missing in each tag, they spell out thdhiscientist (I probably messed up decoding it somewhere in between but that is very very close to the correct spelling. I suggest a protect.

Sigs so far & notes

1: "r" (maybe mistake)
2: "castling on the 5th move" - ???
3: "EvEryonE can lEarn to win at chEss" - square E5? involved in the fools mate
4: "mistakes, even on the 2nd move, can kill you" - fools mate?
5: "you haven't discoveRed the meaning of these. my signatuRes all fit togetheR, and each means something." - ???
6: "The first letter of knight, if you can't spell, is a different letter than the real first letter... hmm." - N?
7: "Do you a word that is used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing?" - audience?

Oof, looks like I got ignored, but maybe the fifth move is O-O-O. (Since you can't castle queenside until the fifth move.)
