Well written post. Chessable is really a top notch platform. I have Pro and one of my favorite features is the Difficult Moves messages. Gives me an opportunity to go into more difficult variations and spend more time with them.
Yeah, that sounds useful, but I don't quite understand how it works. If I get in "Difficult moves" section it just shows me the whole variations -- that may well be 15-20 moves long -- and not exact moves where I'm making mistakes. And then there is a button "Overstudy" next to them -- if I click that, it again just makes me study the whole line. I don't see a way to actually find the moves that I often misplay (nor any statistics for them, say, "played 3 times correctly, 2 times wrong").
It looks to me more like "Difficult lines" rather than "Difficult moves", if I understand correctly.
Aha, I think I've found what I wanted! When you click on that Difficult Moves icon -- it opens a list of variations. Then you can click on the header of any variation and it brings you to the whole page dedicated to that variation -- it shows the course text and moves. And when you click through the moves, on every move there is a section "Your difficult moves" below where it shows something "Ne6: 1 time" (which means that I once played Ne6 there instead of the correct move in this position). Also, there is "All difficult moves" section which is quite interesting and shows all the other people mistakes. I can see that "Ne6: 197 times" as the most common mistake (the same as mine). It's interesting (and potentially instructive) to see what kind of mistakes people are making. So now I know exactly which moves are problematic for me and others. Just learnt something new today! :D
I’ve discovered one more way of looking at Difficult Moves which is even better! It’s “Tools → Difficult Moves” and then all the moves along with useful statistics are presented as positions in a nice table!

I just click on that difficult moves icon and go through the lines to learn. It helps for me.

Happy to have helped lead you to that area even if it were indirectly. Whooo!

Huh?
