Extension Usage Instructions
This extension adds a lot of extra functionality to the https://lichess.org web site.
Main features:
- Extended Interactive Lessons allow you to play ALL variations
- Explorer Practice allows you to play against the moves in Opening Explorer, essentially helping you train against any rating bracket on the Internet or a specific opponent
- Enhanced PGN Import in Analysis board allows you to merge multiple PGNs into a single one (lichess limitations strip down the comments, but I am working on a solution). This helps you quickly collect a player's repertoire and maybe save it as a study Interactive Lesson, simulating their play. Then you can export the current analysis moves into separate lines as well, or just copy a single branch as a PGN.
- See evaluation of possible moves of the selected piece in analysis
- Automatic detection of interesting moves
- Mobile device features (for browsers that support extensions on mobile, like Kiwi), including drawing arrows and circles on mobile, scroll/zoom lock while playing, etc.
- Change the friends box into a menu or a button, live update Friends page,
- Sound and voice notifications where players you follow start playing (with mutable option per player)
- TV enhancements: Current games section for players you follow and streamers, menu to go to previously opened games, previous two games in player TV just like in category TV
- Ctrl-right/left to play a random move from the available ones in the list. This also works for moves coming from transposing positions
