An Anki Add-on that lets you practice entire chess lines
Hey guys, I built an Anki add-on that drills entire chess lines in a single flashcard. It’s called Flashcard Chess. All you have to do either copy-paste a complete sequence of moves, input them in an editable table, or import a PGN, and the add-on builds a card with an interactive board. After you play through the line, you rate yourself with Anki's grading buttons and let the algorithm take it from there. It works with PGNs containing multiple variations, and I even got it working on the AnkiMobile iOS app!
I also paired it with a companion site I made called flashcardchess.net where people can browse community decks, share their own, and subscribe to decks that sync straight to the Anki app. Updates also apply automatically on your next sync without needing redownloads.
If you’re interested in trying it, the add-on is available on [AnkiWeb], the companion website is [flashcardchess.net], and I have new tutorials on [YouTube]. I included tutorial videos about 1) using the add-on, 2) using the website, and 3) setting up Anki if you've never used it before.
CHANGELOG Version 1.1 – 06/24/2026
- Added Woodpecker Mode, modeled after the popular Woodpecker Method. Drill tactics in one isolated cycle, without affecting your normal review schedule. Check the updated Help / Guide for more info.
