Importing multiple (hundreds) of games to lichess • page 1/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Hello, I usually play on chess.com but I want to use lichess to study my games as I feel this site is better suited for this purpose. I want to upload potentially hundreds of games since trends are quite easier to spot this way, though I do not know how as I am quite new to lichess. Can someone direct and help me?

Hi,

I think you're able to import one game at a time.

Click on the "Tools" bar on the top middle --> Import game --> paste the pgn of your game.

An even better way: Go to openingtree.com and follow the directions...

It should be possible with the puzzle-features but I didn't tried it.

If you find a collection of games in one PGN you can import them all in one shot using the PGN importer in studies.

Max 64 at a time.

So you want to use the resources on this site to study your games played at chess.com. Not fair.

It's misusage. If a lot of chess.com users get the idea of doing the same this site would be badly compromised very soon

#7 I do not agree. I think lichess is able on itself to show that it might be a good site to also play in. The op seems quite serious and would soon realize that having an integrated system where same accumulation of games could be studied but with the option of also doing it one at at time as first pass, and then cumulating it as presented might offer even more studying value.

In any case, lichess does not seem to say it has to be a package deal. Although i do like all of its features, and stick around even if some of them lose some that i used to rely on (inbox, self, threading). I think the entry point to lichess does not have to be full frontal.

This is a simple question about database features of LiChess studies, the source for the pgn could be everything. Your post is probably more unfair to the OP than the question was to begin with.

Every chess player that serious about data should consider a dedicated program. I do my data management with SCID but there's many more. The book and search features are great for sorting through thousands of games and it is nice to have them offline at all times. Checking lines with Stockfish 13 on full throttle makes use of extra RAM, organizing opening files is also oddly entertaining. I like the oldskool look and easy pgn export, use LiChess studies mainly for online interaction.
