This project seems to be a little bit suspicious. In solving chess puzzles, an ounce of chess knowledge is better than a ton of general education. How are you supposed to filter that effect out?

There seems to be something similar already in another post, just in german and about people who go to tournaments and their experiences: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/umfrage-schachturniere
Not sure if its somehow connected or not.

Hi, in the survey we ask for chess experience, which will be used as a control variable later in the analysis!

We are two master’s students currently conducting our thesis project. We are investigating how educational background affects decision-making in problem-solving situations under time pressure, using chess puzzles on Chess.com as an analysis tool.
We are now looking for participants who solve chess puzzles on Chess.com and are willing to anonymously contribute to our research. It only takes 2 minutes to participate!
Who can participate?
Active users on Chess.com with puzzle history
People with various educational backgrounds
What does it involve?
You fill out a short form with a few simple questions (education, age, Chess.com username)
We retrieve anonymous data from your latest 20 chess puzzles on Chess.com (accuracy, time, difficulty level)
We would be very grateful if you could also forward this to other chess enthusiasts, such as your chess club or friends who use Chess.com.
Apologies if this post is not permitted in this group, admins are welcome to remove it if necessary.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
Thank you so much for contributing to our research!
Best regards,
Emil & Akshay
