Suppress First Moves of Opening #1

Closed gflohr closed 5 months ago

gflohr commented 11 months ago

More advanced players don't need notes to be generated for the first couple of moves, like 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 because they are always the same.

It is not clear how this should be implemented. A simple solution that would always suppress the first n moves for a certain deck is maybe not flexible enough. Anothere possibility would be to mark nodes in the game tree as irrelevant but that would require something like a custom comment or annotation with a special meaning which looks a little bit like a hack.

For the time being, it is assumed that the trivial moves at the beginning are few compared to the size of the entire deck and because the answers to them are also trivial, they will just disappear after very short time.

Other ideas welcome!

Won't fix.

This is easy to achieve by starting the PGN not from the starting position but from an arbitrary position. In Lichess, you can get there by selecting the tab "Editor", when you create a study. Alternatively, you can select "FEN", and copy and paste the starting position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation.
