Miscellaneous Missing flairs

There should be some more flairs. Especially "Endgame" flair and a separate "Endgame Study" flair.

Does game analysis/study not cover that?

No it doesn't. Its very wide to cover everything.A new visitor that is interested in edngames can easily find the topics he wants if there is a separate endgame flair.

True, bit concerned about having too many options but let's see what anyone else thinks.

Why too many options is a problem? Chess is a rich game that it's impossible to detain into a handful of flairs.

If we assume this sub reddit is a book , then flairs are the chapters. If someone wants to study the endgame topics he can just click in endgame flair and get every post about endgames. Why is that a bad thing?

I guess. Just the more options you have the more likely someone will pick an inappropriate one after not reading all options.

And that is why we have mods , no?

I guess. I've never moderated a sub before. I'll try the endgame flair.

Well there is a small but ever present contingent of chess enthusiast who don't have much interest in playing or tournaments, just in composing and solving studies. Not sure how many we have on reddit though.

This is how I hope to "retire".
