Feature Request - Show name of opening in games and analysis

The name of the opening used in any game should be shown in the game & analysis afterwards and should be clickable to analyze that particular opening. This would help people learn and master opening theory and is a feature already implemented on Chess.com

Anyone agree?

:)

Hello for all
Can any one help me
I open lichess from chrome to now i see in lichess stockfish10
They team posted in facebook now available in site stockfish 11
But to now not update this
Can any one tell me about that
Thanks

@AzariaK I would love for this to be implemented as well. It helps to see where in the game my opponent or I leave theory. Not to mention the "other" chess site also has this feature :)

@BestRival Although Stockfish 11 is available Lichess doesn't actually use the out-of-the box version of Stockfish. The Lichess team makes many changes to the Stockfish program so that it can run on a web browser (like Chrome) and play variants such as atomic, and crazyhouse. It takes time to make these changes, hence we don't see Lichess running Stockfish 11 yet.

@V1chess
Thanks my friend yes i think that need little time and after team lichess put stockfish 11 before chess.com 😂😂😂😂
And chess. Com following lichess in anything
Chess. Com jealous
😂😂😂
Thanks @V1chess

The opening can not be displayed during the game as this would provide the player with external assistance which is against the rules.
@AzariaK Post game this is where the opening is displayed http://prntscr.com/qrjjba
@V1chess Interesting you say that because the analysis board says it runs on stockfish11+ http://prntscr.com/qrjjba

PS in your profile under "chess insights" you can sort your games by opening to see how you handle each one.

Never mind, I guess they migrated to Stockfish 11+ now!

Also, how does displaying the opening name provide the player with external assistance?

Stockfish 11 was available on the day of release. The special build that allows running it in the browser uses some new features of WebAssembly (structured cloning for SharedArrayBuffer). That's why it's currently only available in Chrome 79+ and Firefox Nightly. It is also currently restricted to standard chess.

This has been requested a few times. And no, knowing the opening name is not "assistance". The name doesn't give you a move after all …

I'd also like to see this implemented, but there are probably more important things to fix for now.

@fuxia As a bad example, suppose in the opening phase you encounter a potentially dubious looking move that you have never seen before. You look at the opening name and see "XYZ: Mortimer Trap". That definitely changes the game.

Other names give hints at what is happening ("Counterattack", "Gambit", "Pawn Storm variation"), or how the setup is supposed to look ("Symmetrical Variation").

Even just an updated opening name after the last move gives a hint: Aha! This variation is legit enough to deserve its own name.

@revoof That still doesn't count as "assistance", because it doesn't tell you what to do. Your examples are NOT giving any hint about the next moves. And everyone can spot a symmetrical position without any help …

Also, many openings are just poorly named.

And just the fact that some lines have names doesn't make them "good".

Just look at my funny collection of Sicilian sidelines:



Almost all of them are outright terrible.

And finally, names can be misleading: When I studied the Caro-Kann/Panov (lichess.org/study/JWmJD6hp), I found that many positions arise from 1.Nf3 c5 or other openings in practical play.

I think chess.com doesn't want to give assistance – like any other chess website, and yet they have implemented it. Because it doesn't do any harm, it's just user friendly.
