Chessable call for decision-making test participants


How well do chess players with different ratings solve different types of tactical chess positions?
And how long does it take them to do so?

The Chessable science team invites chess players to take part in an online test.
This test is part of research on decision-making in chess.


The test consists of ten positions which should be solved in a maximum of five minutes each. Before the test begins, there are two sample puzzles. After solving the positions, participants may answer some questions via a link.


Chess players of all levels can participate. The only condition is to have a FIDE Elo rating.
To participate, click onhttps://chessable.typeform.com/decisionmakingto fill in a short questionnaire (Elo rating, name, etc.). After a few weeks you will get a link to the online test.
The questionnaire closes on October 15, 2023.


Names of participants will be kept confidential. The research results will lead to a paper and a blog on the Chessable site.

Via the questionnaire participants can opt for a one-month free Chessable PRO Account. To get the Chessable PRO account, list your existing Chessable account or create a Chessable account for free atwww.chessable.com. After November 21 you will see the PRO status when you open your account.

What might also be interesting is to see if chess players have good decision making skills in general, for a wide variety of fields, compared to the general population.
