How does it work?

  1. Open up Anki (after proper installation, see below)
  2. Open up Flash-Goban
  3. Open up a game in KaTrain
  4. Scroll through until you see a position where you could’ve done much better
  5. alt-tab to Flash-Goban and click “make flashcard”
  6. A flashcard is made where the front of the flashcard is the game position with no move analysis and the back of the flashcard is the game position with move analysis

Installation

Download and install the Anki flashcard software

https://apps.ankiweb.net/

Download and install the Anki plugin Anki-connect

BE AWARE: this opens up port 8765 on your local machine. I know of no security issues but CAVEAT EMPTOR.
