I do think that this affects only people who scored above ~60 before the change, which are probably just 2% of all people who played that. But those are the people who spent hours playing that and care the most.

It probably seems odd for people to understand that this makes a difference, but I'm giving an example:
Before the change my highscore was 77, the average score peaked at 72. Now the "new" highscore is 69 with an average score peaking at 65.

Even Andrew Tang @c9c9c9c9c9 (I think his best was 88) said in one of his lasts streams that he dislikes this and wants the old one back.

On the other side you now have 2 coordinates with a bigger size, which is probably more user-friendly for the other 98% of people.

But I really want to get to 100 one day (as far as I know 99 is the highest score published), which is probably impossible with the new setup. I spent hours getting this far, and it now depresses me a bit :(.

Solution: Add an option in https://lichess.org/training/coordinate where you can choose between seeing 2,3 and maybe even 4 or 5 coordinates. Put 2 as default :)

Hey :), Lichess recently changed the setup of the coordinates training. Now it's only possible to see 2 coordinates in the middle of the board instead of 3. It probably doesn't sound like a huge difference, but it's definitely for people who played that a lot and made huge scores. It's now much harder to compete with previous highscores.
