How to learn from your games

How to learn from your games¶

Chessli allows you to fetch your games from lichess, find the mistakes you made and then create Anki cards out of them.

Note

In order for chessli to find your mistakes you first need to perform a computer analysis on lichess via the analysis board.

A simple workflow¶

A simple but powerful workflow is the following.

Fetch the games you have played in e.g. the last week, extract mistakes you made, and convert them as anki cards in csv format:

chessli games ankify --since last-week

Open up anki and import the csv file.
Learn from your mistkes with the Chessli Games anki cards. (Click here relevant tutorial section on how to use the anki cards)

Note: The next time you fetch your games, you can type:

chessli games ankify --since last-time

or just

chessli games ankify

(chessli it will use --since last-time per default). This way you always fetch the newly played games.

Customized workflow¶

There are a lot of options you can choose, type:

chessli games --help

and

chessli games ankify --help

to get an overview about all possible customization options.

Example¶

For example you might want to only ankify the mistakes of classical and rapid games that you played in the last week and limit the number of games to 5, in order to make the workload more manageable:

chessli games ankify --since last-week --perf-type blitz --perf-type classical --max 5
