  1. The menu item shouldn’t be under File. File is fundamental to the application itself, Importing chess games is related to editing a particular note. I would go for the Tools menu. I don’t think even Edit menu is a good place for it.

  2. I played over 2000 games on Lichess only this year. I have no interest in importing all of them! The context menu should be polished to allow user to only import the games they want.

  3. An option to import games from a pgn file should be added.

  4. ChessBase’s CBH support and Scid’s db support should be added.

  5. FEN support should be added, for diagrams.

  6. A separate FEN with arrows, highlighting squares with different colors like red, green, blue, yellow, also adding stars.

  7. It doesn’t work for me at all:

    I tried to paste both the annotated and raw PGN from this game: Caucasus_Eagle vs banan314: Zukertort Opening: Queenside Fianchetto Variation • lichess.org

  8. Optional adding some metadata to the frontmatter like

    White: Caucasus_Eagle
Black: banan314
date: 2023

    to integrate nicely with the Formatter Overview Plugin
