Bad joke

fr.lichess.org/training/opening/12981
In this opening training Lichess wants two moves. Ok : very easy, the position is well known. So 1. exd5 and 1. e5. No it doesn't want e5, good but not enough !
So what ?
No d3, Qf3.........
The gambit 1. d4 ? No RED ! You lost 17 points !
What do you want ? 1. Nxd5 who gives black advantage after Nxe4.
He is crazy no ?
Well, only good thing about opening training is that no one forces you to use it.

For some reason lichess does not admit they messed up and made absoluetly terrible feature...
Yes we are not obliged to train on this site but the tool is there. Just improve it. They do not read the forums.
Definitely. Since we now have a powerful opening database, it makes sense to shift the logic from the stupid engine (it's stupid in openings) to it. The DB even has the win/loss rate, so if a position has a certain number of games more than X and a win/draw rate is reasonable, then it could become a part of this training tool.
#4 do not complain about it. At least there is no hellball anymore. But yes, they really should listen to community more, especially with this "open source" policy.

#5 I am not sure who made this feature, but it obviously was not a strong player. A strong player would have understood that engines can not beat opening books in theory. Yet.
3 d4 ?!
I think the engine consider the gambit as refuted in long term :D
(that seems actually is)
