This is an Anki 2.0 plugin. I have no plans of updating it, as it was obsolete anyway. People that are still interrested in this are welcome to take this over.
Display a record of a chess position in Forsyth–Edwards Notation as a chess board.
The FEN record has to be complete (with active player, castling
&c.) and it has to be enclosed in a pair of [fen] [/fen] tags.
This is the way that can be used on AnkiDroid and, apparently by some old Anki1 add-on as well.
Example
Just put ` [fen]n1rb4/1p3p1p/1p6/1R5K/8/p3p1PN/1PP1R3/N6k w - - 0 0[/fen]` on a card.
Fonts
This add-on does the display without any images. When you don’t see the chess pieces you should install a font with them. Maybe one from here or here.
To use a specific chess piece font, use the CSS class chess_board,
add a line like .chess_board {font-family: 'my_chess_piece_font';}
to your chess note’s styling.
No development
This was a quick hack. I am neither playing chess nor terribly interested in this, i just stumbled across the code that does the equivalent for AnkiDroid. If anybody thinks ey can do a better job, ey’s welcome to take over this add-on.
Chess deck
This shared deck, that should work on AnkiWeb as well, can be used instead. While that deck does not allow black’s view, it is otherwise more flexible.
