Anki-Chess-2.0

An interactive chess template for anki.

Getting started

In order to install and later upgrade, you'll need to first install an Anki add-on called CrowdAnki:

1. Open Anki on your computer, go to the Tools menu and select Add-ons.
2. In the dialog box, click on Get Add-ons... and paste in the code provided on this page.
3. Click on OK to install the add-on, and then restart Anki.

You're now ready to install:

1. Go to the Releases page.
2. In the latest release's Downloads section, download the ZIP archive of the deck, "Chess.zip".
3. Extract the content of the archive on your computer.
4. Open Anki and make sure your devices are all synchronised.
5. In the File menu, select CrowdAnki: Import from disk.
6. Browse for and select the folder you extracted from the archive, which contains the deck's JSON file -- e.g. Chess.
7. Don't change anything in the CrowdAnki Import Settings dialog box that opens -- just press OK to start the import. A dialog box should then confirm that the import was successful.
8. Download the Media Files.rar folder and extract. Copy the contents of the Media Files folder into you anki collection.media folder

👉 To stay informed of new releases, make sure to watch this repository's releases.

Upgrading

The upgrade process is typically the same as the installation process explained in the previous section. However, some situations require extra care. As a general rule, always read the release notes carefully; they will likely tell you what to do or point you to a page that does.

Sharing your own decks

You are welcome to share your own premade decks for others to use. to do this export your deck as CrownAnki json representaion and uncheck the include media option. media will have to be included in a seperate zip file and imported manually. see the shared lichess study for an example.
