More opening / gambit achievements!

As a relatively new chess player (and a true collecter of all things), I love the achievement system. Especially the section that allows me to collect the Book openings I have played. In my case, it incentivises me to study more openings, try new things and consequently become a better player.

Because of that, it would be really nice if at some point the library of openings that can be collected was extended, perhaps with more solid openings, maybe a "B-tier" (questionable) openings list, or with a Gambit library. It would add another layer of engagement and it seems like good fun to try a lot of strange openings I've never heard of.

 

Let me know what you think of the idea!

The problem with the opening achievements is that they only work if both players do the moves in the right order, so no transpositions are allowed. 

You can be a hardcore London player and never get the London, because it requires your opponent to play the right moves as well, and if they do it in a different order, you don't get the achievement.
