Finding puzzles similar to positions from your own games
I built a free experimental puzzle training tool and wanted to share it with the community.I’ve been experimenting with a small free training tool that connects recent Lichess games with relevant Lichess puzzles:
I originally built it for my own use because I wanted to practice puzzles that were closer to the types of positions I actually reach in my games, rather than only solving random puzzles.
After discussing the idea with a few other chess players, I thought it might be useful to share.
The tool uses a public Lichess username, looks at recent public games, finds decisive moments, and then shows Lichess puzzles that seem similar to those positions.
The basic idea is:
- use your recent games as the starting point
- find critical positions from those games
- look for Lichess puzzles with similar tactical or positional patterns
- open and practice the puzzles directly on Lichess
Some matches may be useful and others may be less accurate but overall I think it is better than random puzzles.
This is a free personal tool that I am sharing. But, please let me know if it is still required to be labeled as promotional content (even though it is not for profit).
