Feature Request: prc:0 to work with spaced repetition/sequential training • page 1/1 • L1Chess Tools Users Team • lichess.org

Currently interactive lessons require users to train every variation present in a study chapter from start to finish. I thought of using prc:0 as a way to ignore some variations, however it does not seem to work when spaced repetition is on (which makes sense, because spaced repetition has its own logic of selecting the next variation to train).

However being able to use prc:0 specifically together with spaced repetition as a way to ignore some lines in the chapter would be very helpful in at least several use cases:

Studies often contain sidelines meant purely for reference, refutations, or annotations. Users may want to keep these for reference, but exclude them from active recall training
When building a repertoire, chapters frequently contain half-finished work-in-progress lines. Users could use prc:0 to be able to train the finalized variations without being forced to play through incomplete variations
When beginning to train a partcular chapter, especially one with many different and long variations it would provide a way to phase the learning: instead of overwhelming themselves with tens of variations from day one, users can activate the first few variations (by adding prc:0 to the ones the want to ignore for now) and gradually extend the training scope as they progress (by removing prc:0 from variations they want include in the training) without needing to delete or alter the chapter's reference content.

First of all thank you for this absolutely amazing extension. I can't express enough how helpful it is and how much I appreciate all the work that you do. I'd like to present a suggestion regarding interactive lessons. Currently interactive lessons require users to train every variation present in a study chapter from start to finish.
