Description

As difficult it is to determine the move that lead to a victory in a game, it is relatively easy to do it statistically. After all, a victory in chess is inducing the opponent to blunder. If we could measure the number of blunders per person per move after a certain position, we could determine a measure of "trickiness" which would be very valuable in finding interesting variations.

The problem here is that the information is on the server side and a client solution is probably unfeasible. Some sort of MCTS strategy could work, but it would use too many resources.

This issue is just to try to find solutions, rather than implement them.
