ChessMint: Chess training sheet generator based on lichess puzzles

This is great work, man

Excellent idea, will generate some sheets tonight to work upon.

This is great! As a coach and player myself, this will prove to be very useful!

It's a great tool, thanks for the effort! :-)

Is the source code available somewhere vor do you plan to open-source the project? I have been working on a similar approach for PGN game collections/annotated games. As your output is a little nicer, I would be interested in differences of your appraoch.

Thanks guys, appreciate the positive feedback!
By the way, @RuyLopez1000, stumbled across you blog post on the science of chess patterns, great read!

@ContainerJoe Sounds interesting! Thought about PGN as well but decided to focus on puzzles / FENs, at least for now.
I currently don't plan on going open-source (haven't even thought about it to be honest). Is there something you want to discuss in particular, e.g. the LaTeX templates?

I just love it.

So clean, simple, strikingly straight forward.

  • Maybe a little less margin space, all round? I crop it and resave as PDF to get 6 boards slightly bigger on an A4 page. :) Works a charm.
  • Option to choose Alpha chess set. (the pieces are a bit more clear and better suited to greyscale prints - at least for me )
  • Option to flip board to player to play - unless it involves major work. I might not even use it, as it is good practice to view board from opponent's side.
  • Indication of opponent's last move - else how would you know if en passant is possible?

Anyway... This is beautiful work, I plan to print lots of pages and take it on hikes, cycle trips, holidays, give it as Christmas presents...
I even printed some blindfolds, at VERY low level... who knows... maybe ...

Hi. Thank you! As a chess coach I love the tool!
One idea for blindfold puzzles: to filter the puzzles by maximum number of pieces.
I will keep testing the website and come back with ideas. Good luck!

I just had an idea today and I thought about your curated puzzle collection. Is it possible that what we consider puzzles define a measure of brilliance or at least interestingness? And in that case couldn't we use them as calibration data for algorithms trying to quantify these nebulous concepts?

What do you think, @iakov98 ?
