"Chessable style" opening practise using interactive studies

Hi all, I am trying to learn some of the many features of Lichess Tools. Today for the first time I created an interactive lesson, and tried to use it for "chessable style" opening practise, with "Sequential" enabled. I have a few moves in my study which are to be regarded more as comments: For example i have a line consisting of only one move and I comment what the average score is after this move just as a comment that this move might be worth considering in this position. But the chapter is dedicated to learning another move, so I am not exploring this move further in this chapter. Is it possible to exclude this move from interactive practise without having to mark it as a mistake?

Also, for my first attempt at practising in this manner, I exported the pgn from chapter 1 of my study, and created a new chapter using this pgn, making the new chapter interactive. This would mean i get 2 chapters to maintain. Maybe it would be better to simply change the first chapter to interactive. Is there any drawback to doing it this way?

And thirdly: Would you say it is preferrable to practise like this, compared to exporting the study pgn to chessable?

Hi, @TobbeF !

I don't use Chessable and I didn't have the time to analyse it. I have tens of chess sites and software on my TODO list to investigate... no time, though :'-(

If you want to exclude branches, then the "bad" glyph is the only solution right now.

The problem with studies is that the only place I can save metadata related to its nodes is in the comments. And even if I hide them from you, people without LT will still see them there.

But if you want a feature just for your own use and other people with LT, let me know.

You can freely update the style of a chapter from Normal to Interactive and back. It doesn't change anything in an irreversible way.

Thank you for your feedback and for all your great work! I think a good solution for me for now is that I will keep 2 versions of the chapter, one meant for interactive training where I have removed lines which would be overkill to practise or are more to be regarded as comments, and then I keep an analysis chapter for extra details here and there. I will try it out a bit more and see if it makes chessable redundant or not :-)
