Search history by openings • page 1/1 • L1Chess Tools Users Team • lichess.org

Hey mighty TotalNoob69 !
I was wondering if this is possible to add the possibility to search between specific played openings inside your own games in the search menu of played games.
As i recall (or mistakely think), it's possible to do in on chess.com but not on lichess.
Thanks in advance for your interest and a million thanks again for your great tool and dedication to it !

Hi, @Karnovski !

I think the only reason why Lichess doesn't enable searching for an opening (which they do calculate and store for all games and export in the Opening PGN tag) is that Thibault has a terrible disdain for the ECO classification of chess openings.

What you can do, with LiChess Tools, is to export all your games in a big PGN and then upload it to PGN Editor. There you can search for the opening tag, the specific moves, even the FEN position.

You can contact me directly if you have any issues.

Of course, once you have the PGN you can use any other tool to search in the text file, if you so choose.
