Opening training features

Hello,

I use the "study" feature together with the "practice" feature by writing my variations from move 1 to the tabiyas, then playing these tabiyas against the computer. This is a very useful way to practice my opening theory. But i would like to ask or suggest some improvements to make it even better:

- A very current and very old issue when playing the computer, particularly when practicing an opening, is that he will play the same move in the same position, which is OK at first, but too limited afterwards: I would like him to play me "sometimes" slightly worse moves than its best move, secondary variations, secondary plans (idea: maybe using the opening book in lichess in the very first moves of the practicing)... Could you implement this "human mode" in your "practice" mode?

- Also, as some other programs do currently, could you implement an "opening training" that consists in hiding the moves you entered and the computer plays the reverse side, and I have to check that move by move I know my variation? (of course, it means that I have entered my variation beforehand in "study" mode or else you create a specific "opening study mode").

- Also, and maybe the most interesting: it would be great in the "profile" page to sort the games of the player by opening; the best thing would be to have a page showing all openings played, statistics (basics ones, as the opening average cpl is already available in lichess) related to each opening and games sorted by opening (link). This would be very useful. If there are too many ECO codes played, then display only the 15 most frequent for example... the idea is that, if I play the Najdorf, I am very interested to know my results in this opening and to have directly access to all my games in this opening.

- Lastly, a detail: would it be possible to export a study in a monograph-like type, that is being able to insert diagrams, to color a move?

Sorry for this long message! But lichess is the best, so it makes me creative...

Thanks.
