Hey everyone, I’m a developer and a huge chess nerd, and I’m playing around with an idea for a new web tool.

I want to build a tool based on the available chess datasets to answer specific questions.

Examples of what you could search :

“What is the exact win rate of the Sicilian Defense in 1-minute bullet games for players rated between 2000-2100, played specifically in the year 2024?"

"In 2024, how often do 2000-rated players actually fall for the main trap in the Caro-Kann Advance variation in rapid games?"

“Show me the top 5 most successful responses to 1.e4 for 1200-rated players in bullet chess."

My Questions for You:

If this existed as a clean, simple website, would you use it for your own opening prep?

Are existing free tools already "good enough" for your level, making this unnecessary?

What specific filters or stats do you wish you could see in current opening explorers?

Would love some brutally honest feedback before I start building.

Thanks!
