list of games of a player in a PGN file - can i view them as a book on lichess

#1

Hello everyone

i have a large PGN file with games of one player, and i would like to explore how he plays his openings, like you can do with the book tool on the analysis board on lichess. Does anyone know a way to accomplish this? Maybe with certain software?
I know how to import PGN into a study but i want to create an opening tree of the games and compare it to a (grand)master database for analysis, preferably with help of an engine
I have not been able to figure out. Tips anyone?

Regards
Thom

If the games were played on Lichess, just enter the player's name in the Personal Opening Explorer. Press [Book Symbol] [Player] [Gear]. If not, try a chess GUI or database. (See "How to Use a Chess GUI:" https://lichess.org/@/CaseyReese/blog/how-to-use-a-chess-gui/tZNkxV7p .)

CB does the job perfectly, even the older versions.

SCID vs. PC is another option.
You open a reference database, the one with GM games. Windows --> Tree Windows. Then left-click on the tab that opened Tree --> Best games. And then open a PGN and can open another tree for this database or just navigate.

Arena has a pgn reader which can be linked to the Stockfish engine by way of download.

You can use the LiChess Tools browser extension and play right here on LiChess.

  1. Import all of the PGNs in Analysis Board (the extension will merge them into one PGN)
  2. Turn the analysis into a study
  3. Alter the resulting chapter to be of type Interactive Lesson
  4. Press Preview to play as or against your chosen player (the extension will choose random variations from the PGN)
