About LiChess Tools, by Siderite

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 - local computer analysis chart when no server one exists, even when not logged in - 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/brilliant/good/best moves - a PGN editor supporting a lot of operations and accepting tens of megabytes of text - 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 - Extra context menus for Analysis/Study move list. One allows you to copy the current branch as a PGN. Another will use add comments with the computer evaluation to the terminating moves in all branches - Show player country flags and game opening names - Custom piece sets, sound themes and board images There are many more. Here is a comprehensive list, in the order of implementation: - randomly play one of the next moves with Ctrl-RightArrow - configurable probability to play a move by putting prc:<number> in the move comment, where number is a percentage between 1 and 100 - highlights for the last move of variations in the analysis/study board - also showing which of the last moves that have not ended in mate have no comment - highlights the transpositions to the current move in the analysis/study board - also an option to show all transpositions in the PGN - play multiple variations in Interactive lesson mode in the same chapter! (using the prc: notations if present) - automatically open/hide/convert to menu the Friends box at page load - sound alert when one of your friends starts playing a game (for various time controls) - changing the shortcut for playing the next best computer move from Space to Ctrl-Space - a minimum chess engine level (if it is idle in a lower state, it runs until it gets to that level) - sticky Interactive lesson Preview mode (remains in Preview when switching between chapters) - use keyboard shortcuts (i, m, b, Alt-i, Alt-m, Alt-b) for inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders in analysis - show player country flags next to their names (if they have their country specified in the profile) - import multiple PGNs in analysis mode and merge them into one - show the order of arrows and circles in analysis/study - add an item in the Watch menu to go to last watched game (and from there to the previously watched game and so on) - show opening name in TV game and mini games - opening explorer button to quickly switch between you and the selected user - show history section (last two games) for user TV - copy branches from analysis/study to clipboard - TV games have a link to the game in the title and can be bookmarked during the game - languages supported: English, Romanian - extension options in the Preferences menu in LiChess - next moves from transpositions are now available in the analysis move list - study move list context menu item to automatically go to the last move of every variation and add a comment with the computer evaluation - option to save preferences in incognito mode, too (you have to set it from Preferences first!) - buttons to change chapter names from the Event or Black/White PGN tags in the chapter edit form - custom styles for study comments - study chapter navigation controls (including random chapter) - auto save and button to reload PGNs in Analysis mode (recover from accidental reloads) - enhanced Friends list now shows live online status and TV links, plus allows the option to "mute" playing alerts for each player - hide score tally crosstable during play - select move from variations, computer list or explorer by pressing . (dot), Ctrl-. and Shift-. respectively, then a digit key - global enable/disable extension switch - for the currently selected chapter, the ability to selectively remove just the comments, glyphs or drawn shapes - mobile device settings (use Kiwi browser on mobiles, it allows extensions) - custom user CSS themes (you can create PRs for them or ask me to include them, but you are maintaining them!) - delete all PGN tags in bulk or pick individual ones from the current chapter - practice with Explorer (computer makes moves based on what masters, lichess or a specific player played in that position) - additional glyphs on board - drawing of arrows and circles on mobile (for analysis, study, games, puzzles, TV) - collapsable preference categories - extra computer analysis metrics on charts and eval gauge - the many preferences now can be filtered by advanced or basic and the categories can be collapsed - a friends tab in the Current Games section, to see just the games of the people you follow - a menu entry to go directly to the last visited study - notification on u…
