LiChess Tools V2.0 is here!

ChessAnalysisSoftware DevelopmentLichess
An almost complete rewrite, it will help me add and control more features and repair bugs faster

I am very proud to announce the LiChess Tools V2!

Same amazing features to turbocharge your lichess site, but with more momentum.

It is now open source, hosted on GitHub, it's more stable, better written, modular, supporting third-party support if you want to add your own tools to it from another extension.

There are some breaking changes:

  • practice voice assist, saving TV games into the browser history and showing the Event PGN tag value instead of chapter titles are now gone
  • instead you have the menu item for last viewed game (repeated selections take you back to the previous ones) and buttons in the chapter edit form to change the title from the Event or the White/Black PGN tags
  • Shift-Space for best computer move has been replaced with Ctrl-Space, because in some context lichess uses Shift-Space for the first move in the Explorer list
  • showing the order of arrows and circles is now off by default, but can be enabled from Preferences
  • the analysis PGN is now automatically saved and reloaded into the PGN box, but one needs to push the Import button to get it loaded
  • the Preferences have changed a bit, too, so I suggest you review them in the lichess Preferences menu

All remaining ideas from the extension page are now moved as GitHub Issues. Feel free to comment and add your own feature requests, bug reports, ideas. Vote on the existing ones if you feel you would like them. Laugh at my shitty code.

For a while I will probably work on testing and updating the documentation, but then I will again start implementing stuff. Let's just hope Thibault doesn't rewrite Lichess from scratch by then :)
