Drill Chess Extension

Increase your chess rating, by turning Lichess studies into better challenges

Current Lichess studies are limited to numerical order. So for example:
Chapter 1, move 1, move 2, move 3
Chapter 2, move 1, move 2, move 3

Drill chess lets you randomize the chapters and move orders, so for example:
Chapter 6, move 7, Chapter 2, move 6, Chapter 6, move 5, Chapter 2, move 3

This gives you benefit of understanding the moves instead of being dependent on sequential learning. So users should install DrillChess to keep your opening repertoire way more challenging than usual
