Hmm so it is cost after all. Thank you for the informed reply.
When you say secondary memory is too slow, do you mean it would take hours or even days to generate a more in depth game analysis? If that were the case, I'm just wondering.... Suppose some of us were willing to wait that long occasionally for some analyses. I wonder if it would be possible to have a two-tiered system, whereby one could request a quick analysis as at present, with its current lacunae, or a full analysis that would take long (how long are we talking about?) to generate, using secondary memory. Or would that be too expensive to set up?
Lichess has done a wonderful job of encouraging serious study of the game. Now that some serious students are here, I presume we would be prepared to wait hours or days for serious analyses of some of our games.
