I'd like to use Ankidroid to study new chess tactical pattern, so I'll
be using puzzles FEN codes in questions and winning combination in
answers. It would be great to have a FEN viewer addon to directly show
the position from FEN code, just like there is one for Anki. Shouldn't
be too difficult to implement either.

Hi Andrea,

Interesting!
Could you please create a new issue for this in the issue tracker?
http://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/
That would help us not forget it.

Also, could you please point us to the source code or web page of this
Anki Desktop addon?

Thanks for participating in AnkiDroid!

Hi Nicolas,
This is that Anki Desktop addon webpage: http://uucode.com/blog/2011/06/27/chess-fen-plugin-for-anki/

Glad to help! Chess and flash cards is a relatively unexplored
combination, but they fit so well together. Unless you have a
photographic memory, repetition is the key to improve pattern
recognition in every aspect of the game, tactics, opening and endgame
above all. Ankidroid can become such a powerful tool and job commuting
such a useful time :-) I'll definitely open an issue about this.

Keep up the good job!
