Description

Stjepan's Tomic's advice for chess learning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERji3r2-Zso) claims the best way to improve at chess is analyse annotated master games (with the annotations removed) like this:

  • make your own move
  • compare with the move made by the player
  • figure out why they are different
  • create your own notes about your thoughts
  • at the end, compare with the original annotations and see if you understood what the player meant

This is "like having a 2700+ coach".

This could be turned into a tool, as well. Something that, when a move is made, shows the annotations from a curated database) like voices from the masters. Something like "In your position, I played XX. My thoughts were..."

Of course, finding such a database might be impossible.
