Several users have suggested expanding the platform to cover other physics problem collections beyond Savchenko. The most requested are:
- Irodov — "Problems in General Physics" (very popular in India and Russia)
- Chinese physics olympiad problems — collections used in CPhO preparation
- Kvant magazine problems
What do you think — should we expand scope, or stay focused on Savchenko? How would we maintain quality if we broaden the collection?

This came up in our user survey multiple times. The main concern is quality: Savchenko solutions are peer-reviewed by 72 contributors. Expanding to Irodov would need a similar contributor base. We could start with a separate section and see if the community forms around it.

In my opinion, it would be best to focus on solving the problems from Savchenko. But if I had to choose, I would solve the problems from Kvant.

Does Kvant have all their problems solved in the magazine?
From what I see, there are problems that are already solved in Kvant. For example:
- Problem page: https://kvant.mccme.ru/1989/12/zadachnik_kvanta_fizika.htm
- Solution page: https://kvant.mccme.ru/1990/04/resheniya_zadach_f1203_-_f1207.htm
Or do they have newer problems that are not solved yet?
