Thanks for bringing together quality articles and data so we may draw our own conclusions. These days it's rare to find "improvement" blogs which have the integrity to cite sources like you have.

This is great, although results were somewhat predictable. I wonder if there's a similar database with more detailed data about chess abilities (e.g. some of those included under chess insights). Something like that could allow to investigate the additional questions OP poses near the end of the post.

That would be interesting to check out. I have only rudimentary data-scraping skills, so someone more skilled than me would need to put together a database, though! I'd also love to have more data on stuff like Chess960 and other variants, which you'd expect should load onto independent factors from standard chess (maybe).

I'm not great at data-scraping either, but I'm afraid that insights are only visible to friends by default, so that would be an issue. However, if someone has an idea of where to find that kind of data, I'd be down to run some analyses too.
