#4Hi everyone, author here. Please let me know if you have feedback or questions.
Would like to see Chess960 variant stats.
Classic chess are way too predictable and players who've managed to learn popular openings have an advantage. Chess960 fixes that.
And due to comparably low popularity of Chess960 I often play it with Stockfish. It has several difficulty levels which are a convenient tool for practice.
So it would be nice to include games with bots (checkbox?) on ChessMonitor as well.

Ahh, this is super nice!
One thing I'd love to know or see is common mistakes I make or the type of mistake/trap I fall into in the pivotal moments of games (some kind of fork/pin combo for me I suspect) ... and/or repeated mistakes I've made in the same position.

It seems like Lichess already has most of the features on the site; they have a better UI on ChessMonitor though.
The main killer feature I see is combining multiple accounts. Are there any other features didn't notice?

How many combinations are there for Chess960?
I'm wondering whether people could also prepare for it if it became popular.

There's 960 of them. Hence, the name.
Slight nuance: the 960 figure includes the regular starting position, and there's some variation in different tournaments about what would happen if the classical starting position were selected. So, at least in some tournaments, it's actually Chess959. But I guess that has less of a ring to it.

The scroll feature to rewind/forward moves on a game, with syncing the state in the URL, is just awesome.
Do you mind sharing how it's done? I just published a library [1] that deals with syncing complex state in the URL, and I'd love to hear more about actual use-cases in the wild.
