feature request: "guess the move"

i was wondering why there is nothing like chesstempo's "guess the move" on lichess
because lichess already got the opening book with 2 million master games wouldnt it be nice to utilize them that way?

i imagined it like this:
1. u choose a game from the opening book (preferably the master games)
2. u let stockfish do an analysis of every move that was played in the game (this would also be saved so that the next time someone happens to choose that game the analysis doesnt need to be done again)
3. then lets say u picked a game with a kings gambit - then u do the moves (it will tell u that the game is a kings gambit beforehand so u know the moves at least until there)
4. after that u can play thru the game (obviously the notations rnt shown): ull play a move that u think is best or which one u think was played in the game - after u moved ur piece the game will tell u whether ur move was the best in that situation and what the master played....and this until the end

this thing would have a rating similar to the ratings on puzzles/"training"(/puzzles) in the learning tab:
if u do a bad move (compared to the engine) u lose points
if u a good move u gain points
if u do a better move than the master u get even more points
(i guess u guys can do this justice more than i do here :p)

there could also be something like a ladder of "most played thru games" so people can play thru the gems first and have a good starting point

this would combine many of the possibilities of lichess: the opening book + stockfish analysis + ud learn the standard openings because the name is displayed before the actual playing thru of the game would start (+ its kinda similar to puzzles/openings on this site)

im no programmer but id imagine this would be a lot of work
however interestingly a lot of the things i mentioned seem to be already on lichess....they would just need to be combined in a new way

surprisingly i couldnt find anything like this on the internet...except on chesstempo which got it behind a paywall after ur first 2 games
(fill me if u know something like this on some other site :D)

so what do u guys think? ;o
I think it would be more fun to implement "guess the move" for live games, where participants are awarded for guessing the player's move (regardless of whether Stockfish considers that move to be the best move).
