What features of Chessable courses do you like to see that not all have?
For me it's a Middlegame section in opening courses

Any independent lines for Black after 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nf3?
Looking for something low-maintenance which isn't a mainline modern after 3. Nf3.

Switching federation
Hi, I'm based in England, but I hate my federation - I want to change, but I am UK citizen who is based in England - can I swap to another country that isn't the FIDE flag without being a resident? Are there any shortcuts to doing it?
Thanks.

How did you guys pump up subjects from 8s to 9s
I'm sure this question has been asked before - apologies! Was just wondering, how you guys pushed grades form 8s to 9s especially when some of my eights in these subjects are just a couple off nines, on the wrong side of the boundary.
Conversely, some of my nines are quite weak and I still should focus on pushing those into strong nines.
Any tips for specfic subjects?

3+2 game OTB - played a move and my clock read 1 second
was playing 3+2 on a DGT board in a FIDE world tournament last year against a very strong player, when promoting I hit my clock and I knew I was close to flagging, so I looked at the clock, and it somehow read 1 second! Not 2!
I checked Liveboards after the game, said the same. I managed to win the game, but how was this caused? was the clock in the process of displaying the flag at the exact millisecond I hit the clock? I was so confused.

An independent try after 1. g3 d5 for White
I already have something interesting cooked up after 1. g3 e5 but nothing against 1...d5. Does anyone know of some funky lines?
I can play 2. Nf3 if necessary but would have preferred not to transpose into sth well known. Gledura recommends 1. g3 d5 2. c4 d4 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. b4, I believe, on LTR 1. g3 but it doesn't seem particularly great. Of course, 2. Bg2 e5 isn't totally optimal and I would rather steer clear.
Any independent lines / sound transpositions into rarer openings? Thanks so much.

Cool unique tournament ideas
I'm a tournament organiser. and enjoy blending together different time controls in one event. Any ideas for some cool, unique FIDE-rateable events you'd really like to see? I'd love to make them happen!

I know there are lots of stereotypes about 'rigging' these types of events and don't want to go there to buy points. I also heard it was a good place to go to get rating legit. Does anyone know of actual rigged tournaments I should avoid or is it just a stereotype/rumor. Thanks
