You're welcome.
All suggestions for the insights graphs:
(1) *filter* moves on the Insights graphs by centipawn loss. The most useful thing would be to only look at blunders so I can figure out where I blunder the most, and it's the one thing the insights graph doesn't allow!
(2) Allow for facet combinations. I'd like to bucket together all of
the Sicilian openings into one bin (both as a filter and as an axis value).
(3) Allow for a third categorical dimension on the graph (e.g. multiple lines, one each for opening/mid/end). Alternatively have a view with two graphs, so we can easily compare white and black without sacrificing a whole dimension.

So I voted endgame because I think is obvious that after the middlegame one
has to play the endgame, so it would be a nice extra to have,
I dont think it needs more elaboration if the implementation is possible
It would be like the icing of the cake so to speak since its one of the main features that has been lacking in the last years, from a content related perspective
and its just very easy to appreciate by most users, its not like a technical feature which may have a lot of work in the backend or by the developers,
and may be important as well, like https or I dont know,but becomes unnoticed by many players such myself.
So in that regards I think the endgame is not only a good feature but also an easy feature to understand, so it does not surprise me that the polls have fauvor it
now about the implementation I have no clue.
I just wanted to make some remark, because I dont feel now like writing, so I dont want to do a deep analysis of all those things that are in the poll,
but one of them has caught my attention.
And its team matches, it could be a very nice feature, very social, perhaps it has not received "many" votes since is something new or not common.
But having something like I dont know, like percentages the graph is an inverse U,
For example two teams, team A and team B
the first player goes from 800 to 1300
the second from 1300 to 1500
the third player from 1500 to 1700
the four player from 1700 to 1900
and the fifth player from 1900 to 2800
So its an odd number, and the one who gets three or more wins the match.
five versus five, I dont think it makes sense to, I mean thats just an example, I dont think it makes sense It can be different
but I would not create a team where I would divide players between 2400, 2600, 2200, since there are few players so that it becomes more practical
and the matches go almost instantaneuos refresh, and since the team is five its like not a big deal that one may face someone higher or lower, since perhaps
in the other division ur friend has the points advantage.
So five versus five, two teams of five versus five for example, it can be made different but thats a nice example.
But now how are the teams created are they permanent or are they just a minute thing, like u have a new team everytime or u have always the same team.
I think is better to have new teams everytime so that one can be offline and there is no problem
just the team refreshes changes, swithces the members, thats the idea, like counter strike for example, or team fortress, or world of warcraft, I dont know the games.
Its really only about score, because at the end of the day u are only gonna face one player, but perhaps u can talk with the other members of the team and analyze
the games and have fun with each other, I think it would work quite well because lichess despite being an awesome site, its still lacking a little in the social
aspect, except for the streamers that are great, like the forum for example dont have a lot of active members, so most users use the site but dont participate
beyond playing the game, which is understandable, since chess is an individual game.
So, I dont know, its just a thought, the team could work out, the team feature, ive seen it in other sports like weightlifing matches competition and so on,
I think its very dinamic and social, its just a fun thing, but its only an extra no, anyway just a thought.
I also voted some weeks ago, endgame and blogging, since I did not see team matches or forgot about that, the issue with blogging I dont know if It may work out,
but there are like some spread tiny chess sites, like blogspot things like that over the net, I dont know perhaps could be integrated the blogging experience
without too much work, a link, or a tab, space, so that the users create their content, whatever It is, inside lichess, instead spread over the net,
so that is easier to navigate and the site becomes again more lively richer, not monetary since its recreative but becomes more alive still, with more features going on,
like u go to a profile, and few of them, many users are lazy like me, may have a blog,
Now I dont think its straightforward because its not like clearcut, and perhaps needs moderation the blogging the pictures or whatever, so I really think its a difficult
thing and may not go along with lichess philosophy which is just like something simple and well built, understandable, without to many, without becoming bloated so to speak.
So perhaps blogging is a nice feature but it does no go with harmony with lichess front end.
I would put the endgame, I dont want to appear arrogant, but I just think the endgame is something obvious, and then the rest of the features I have no clue
I talked about the team matches, which I think its cool no, and may work out, so its something to think about.
So I think as a developer of lichess, if I were one, I would think in terms of social and content, I would not think technically since the site since the site is already
quite well there and I dont think it can improve much, and its hard for those who are not too savvy to I dont know, to appreciate the difference between a 20 node
analysis or a 35 one.
So for example, what is like the main site of chess in the internet, chess.com, dont know what that has, but I know its a social site, with colours and advertisements
lichess is not very approachable to the common public despite its qualities, its almost like linux that It may be better than Windows but most users use windows
because its just easier or has colours or whatever, so nothing wrong with that, just wanted to mention.
And since the site needs to have some internal coherence and dont be just a swaghog of weird creatures like minigolf or whatever, so that it does not become just
another naughty site full of ads and instantaneous gratification.
So what is like the main thing of lichess, chess right? thats like the easy thing to remember but also can be forgotten, now the site is not mine, its just a thought
its thibault site, but if the development continues in the same direction then It would be chess, I said this for example because some months ago,
someone asked about checkers, draughts, which is like a logical thing, but was not in the development perspective in the horizon of things.
So, It seems that site is about chess no, so if the site is about chess if continues like that, then endgames is a good idea, now if u want to give it a different flavour
then its harder to think, but u can still make the site with internal coherence chess related, and add all those features, those proposals are really about chess,
not about lollipops or whatever because nowadays the net is full of crap,
So its really like it has a sobriety no, its difficult to understand how thibault or the developers made a site where there is not just flash adobe or that type of crap.
In fact, the main issue I started using lichess, was because I had a very bad computer which almost did not work in the net and kept crushing all over and over,
but in lichess stayed more or less ok, no, so thats the technical part of it, which is only seen when It does not work.
So in that regards, its quite an achievement that the site is so simple and well built, its really something to study about, its like a model of how to build a site
very intelligent design, very smart guys and hard workers I have no clue how they done it, but they ve done it, so something to appreciate.
Now, back to the topic, about the features, well, getting tired, endgame and team matches.

Now, back to the topic, about the features, well, getting tired, endgame and team matches.
Speaking of feature requests... are we ready to vote on the next set? -I would love to see simultaneous game offers of different types/timings.
-I (and I'm sure lots of others) would love to see being able to see the offers list on mobile
-I (and I'm sure lots of others) would love to see being able to see the offers list on mobile
#53 OMG Maybe a length limit for forum posts would be a good new feature. :)
#54 yes. Im not a fan of length limits but this is really a long post. I so didnt read it, lol.
hello
I would like to see an endgame trainer here because my endgame skills can be better and this feature would make my endgame play better.
there is should be search by opening feature in Advance Search....
Maybe we should add inaccuracy/mistake/blunder filter - that means I can find all games with 0-0-0 (for example) from certain player. Or acp loss filter.
