Bring Back Total Moves + Another Feature Suggestion

Sort:
Interpenetration

(1) Sometime back in the Spring, the 'total moves' stat was removed. I remember someone complained about the stat being present in this very forum and considered it to be a useless stat. Shortly after this, the stat was removed, but it was around the time of a big update so I was not sure if it was temporary or not, but now that it has been several months, I would like to suggest bringing it back. 

personally liked seeing the number of total moves because I felt it was just another fun way to quantify the amount of chess I play. Saying you've made over 100,000 moves is cooler than saying you've played 3,000 games -- bigger numbers are always juicier. 

Indeed, there's another chess website which includes "Total Moves" as almost a primary draw, and players that get over a million moves get a special badge and some amount of esteem within the community. 

Perhaps this stat could be displayed less prominently (it was previously at the top of each player's profile), and that way it would not be a distraction to those who dislike it. Maybe you couId even let players not see it. I would still be very happy if it was just buried at the bottom of a page somewhere, not unlike how other random stats like 'Tournaments hosted ' and "Total number of players hosted' are.  

(2) Another interesting statistical feature could be something like... blunder/inaccuracy rate by opening.

Many people like to play specific openings & will rack up hundreds of games in them... But if there was a number, like the average number of blunders and/or inaccurate moves made within the first 15 or 20 moves of an opening, players might have a better idea of how well they are actually playing an opening, and it could draw attention to how to improve from that opening. 

I imagine this could be difficult to execute, but since there is already a chess engine that analyzes games, you could theoretically just have every game that is analyzed count the blunders/inaccuracies in the first 15/20 moves of the opening and I suppose a number could be generated from that. 

I think it would be an interesting number to see and, even though it would perhaps be potentially difficult to implement, it could be interesting and useful to some. 

Thanks much for reading a long post.
