Very interesting research!

A particular use case that's implied by the features is the ability to analyze errors that you would make as opposed to the exact errors that you made; as the personalized "Maia-transfer" model seems to have an ability predict the specific blunders that the targeted player is likely to make, those scenarios can be automatically generated (by having Maia play against Stockfish many times) and presented as personalized training exercises to improve the specific weak spots that you have.

Yes, that's exactly one of our goals. In the paper we even have a section on predicting which boards lead to mistakes (in general). The results were much weaker than the move prediction, but we're still working on it and will hopefully publish a followup paper.
