How to get better at tactics

How to learn tactics¶

chessli allows you to directly fetch all the lichess puzzles you played!

Lichess new tactics puzzles amount to more than one million puzzles! These are neatly organized into different themes.

:information source: Lichess recently added a lot of awesome functionality. For example, it provides a puzzle dashboard, overviews about areas you should work on and those you are good at, and much more.. Quite recently even a puzzle storm was added!

A simple workflow¶

A simple but powerful workflow is the following.

Fetch the new puzzles you have played, compare them with the puzzles you already have played before, and export only the new puzzles as anki cards in csv format. Due to smart defaults, all this is condensed into the following short command:

chessli tactics ankify

Open up anki and import the csv file.
Learn your tactics with the Chessli Tactics Anki cards. (Click here for the relevant tutorial section on how to use the anki cards)

Customized workflow¶

There are more options you can choose from, open your console and type:

chessli tactics --help

to get an overview about all possible customization options.
