It gets me sp mad, seeing them call theory "crushing". They never explain why moves are good, they just say, should you do x? And they dont even explain why you should. I saw a popular ruy study that said the berlin is a gambit.
I agree that many of the top rated studies aren't that educational, but rather made by people that know how to gather upvotes. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve the user experience when it comes to studies?
#12 maybe upvotes from higher rated players should have more 'weight' or something?
@lovlas i would like a condition that studies can only be made public if they have 20 chapters and they should have some instructive value if someone things a study ois not that educational they should be able to report and if reports exceed X numbers a strong player like you can check if it is educational if not them make it private
How about a system with this main core idea :
A 1st filter (an automatic algorithm) that filters from ALL the studies to a shorter number of studies X
A 2nd filter (checked by Studies mods) that filters that X number of studies to a much more shorter number Y
and the Y number of studies is organized in the HOT section with upvotes for example...
@Ensemo great idea but would take too much man power for a not for profit website
The thing that I really want from an "opening" study - unless I wrote it myself to keep track of repertoire - is a decent collection of full games that are reasonably well played and illustrate "typical" plans and ideas for the opening.
I get that I'm not everyone, but I do find it weird that the top rated opening studies mostly seem to be give about five moves of basic theory in a bunch of lines with very little extra information. Who votes for these things?
Example of Studies which ideally should make it to Front page and not garbage opening sessions by 1100s .
1) How to stop a pawn storm rushing towards king .
2) How to play with less space .
3) How to make the most out of the bishop pair .
4) How to crush 2300s ( A collection of 20 games )
5) What to do when there is nothing to do / everything is done .
6) How to stop 3 connected passed pawns from promoting .
@Mahith1708 I don't think it's the best criterium since the studies about opening can be broken into many studies with less than 20 chapters in order to maintain a good overlook. That's the way I do it. The overview gets a bit worse unless the chapters are kept simple, so the quality should be the important thing here.
i am pro
