# OGS Buddy

OGS Buddy is a tool to help make flashcards of OGS positions:

1. Review a game using the OGS AI facility
1. When you see a move where the AI did something much better than your choice, click "Make Flashcard" and a flashcard is made for you in the [Anki flashcard program](https://apps.ankiweb.net/).
1. Review your flashcards regularly to improve your ability to do better in those same positions.

Let's click on "Make Flashcard" so we dont make this same mistake again.

## Anki quizzes us on the position:

I am posting the announcement of this software. I am leaving it in alpha state. I was going to upgrade at OGS and use the OGS AI to study my games, but OGS does not support fast-forward to positions where I lost a lot of points. So I dont feel good paying $4.00/month when I cant get what i desire.

Therefore I need to make a similar tool that allow study with a desktop AI app.

These screenshots show it in action. And the install and usage sections show you how it works.

I haven’t tried it yet, but from the description it looks truly awesome.

Any hope that you could make that as a plugging for Katrain?

I wasnt aware that KaTrain supported plugins… I will look into this. I do use KaTrain myself.

But if I make it just a generic tool that makes screenshots of a go position with and without the best moves highlighted, then the Lizzie crowd and whatever-other-AI crowd could also use it.
