Hey thibault and crew, thanks for all the work you do but could you go through the trouble of replacing stuff like "D06 Queens Pawn Game" with the more descriptive "Marshall Defense".
would mean a lot all of us up and coming chess players to zone in on the openings we do best when going for our ratings.
I like the idea but it seems like asking for a lot considering it's just ripping them from the database and everything in the database is already listed by the ECO. Maybe it'd be better for you to search things on the internet like Mashall Defense and so forth and find that it is ECO code D06 and then make that your search for Insights. Basically what you're asking is for someone to go through and build a system that takes the ECO codes that are in the PGN files, parse those values through a second new database set that changes all the names and then display from that separate database instead... o.0
that's exactly what I'm asking
I'm not saying they HAVE to do it or I won't know what's going on.
But if they are looking for ways to improve the site, then this is certainly one way
I'd suggest then maybe if you think it'd be a good way to improve the site, maybe you could get the ball rolling by doing some legwork by creating a spreadsheet that has one set of values (all the ECO codes) and then a second string of values with the name you think should be associated with them. Maybe if there were already a spreadsheet with all that info there'd be someone able to pick it up and run with it? Just a thought. This is an open-source community, so contribution goes a lot farther than feature requests when anyone has the means to take the first step. Of course I'm not saying the devs will implement it even if you do that much, but I imagine it'd be far more likely to get a future implement if the dirty work of going through lists of ECO and matching them up to recognized names would go a long way. It might even help improve the analysis feature.
--I imagine it'd be far more likely to get a future implement if the dirty work of going through lists of ECO and matching them up to recognized names would go a long way--
this sentence should have read:
--I imagine it'd be far more likely to get a future implement if the dirty work of going through lists of ECO and matching them up to recognized names were already done. It'd go a long way.--
Alright I'll do the leg work if you tell me all that entails
Just an excel sheet with ECO and names?
