Allow custom pgn to ankify about chessli HOT 6 CLOSED

Even better would be to allow usage of custom anki template which only contains fen and move list fields for eg.

Hey, can you provide an example of how your database of pgn files looks like? I guess in the current version it won't work, but maybe it can be extended with not much effort to make your use case working.

They would be like these :

Maybe these card templates are a better solution for you?
The second pgn database you mentioned (auerswald collection) is already available for the above card templates here.
Or are the two sets you mentioned above just examples of how yours looks like?
In any case, at the moment chessli is not able to ankify arbitrary pgn databases, but since the above shared decks exist and chessli makes available the > 1 million (and growing) lichess puzzle database, I would need to be convinced that this is a feature worthwhile to be implemented.

I close this here for now. @ExtremeCoolDude, just comment here if you have further questions.
The "ankification" of arbitrary pgn sources is not possible at the moment, but I will try to tackle it in the future, see #5.

I think I commented when I was logged in on another account xD, so I did try it but the chess py library doesn't spit out { comments } nicely for the excellent templates, particularly if there are linebreaks on pgn comments, the linebreaks is included in the string, which is very hard to import into anki since anki treats each line as a separate card, other than that simply iterating over games and spitting out fen and SAN separated by tab with game on each line is enough to import into anki as a txt file.
