I just inserted via pgn all the light opening-analysis which I made during the recent (last 5 years) to prepare myself for standard games (many times my opponents were grandmasters). This alone are 3500 positions which I consider as absolute minimum to know by heart. I am sure more than 50% is already well known and probably most of Brabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327954944602462820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493366019305411742.post-87932948369982824232017-10-28T22:06:10.758+02:002017-10-28T22:06:10.758+02:00Hi Brabo,

At the same time it is very often used and recommended by chess coaches to train their pupils. This is a quite different target group with very different intentions.<br /><br />I understand that you don't want to study more than 30 min. a day or 35 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193709795748789633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493366019305411742.post-60816411443660982802017-10-28T20:53:28.664+02:002017-10-28T20:53:28.664+02:00Stefan, I checked your rating and it shows 1900 dw...Stefan, I checked your rating and it shows 1900 dwz. I can understand that for you training the first 12-15 moves in the training module works. Besides to how many positions does the first 12-15 moves correspond for your complete repertoire?<br />However such approach can not be used for a 2300 player like myself. I have many critical lines in my repertoire going to move 30 which do pop up in my Brabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327954944602462820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493366019305411742.post-25781659952197814052017-10-28T20:23:34.049+02:002017-10-28T20:23:34.049+02:00A module should be as close as possible to an aver...A module should be as close as possible to an average trainingsession. As I wrote in my article 35 positions seems to be used quite commonly by other users for an average trainingsession. I also feel that bigger modules often lead to less productive trainingsessions which means more mistakes and in the end most importantly less learning.Brabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327954944602462820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493366019305411742.post-43920388615766447872017-10-28T08:07:07.930+02:002017-10-28T08:07:07.930+02:00I agree that most CPT users were attracted by the ...I agree that most CPT users were attracted by the training features in first place. I also agree that splitting 3500 positions into 35 position "modules" is a very tedious task. I'm not sure why you want to do that though.<br />I play e4.

So a pre-populated book won't work unless you add some easy features which allows any user to personalize it. The program must allow a user to toggle openings in a repertoire. Also the program must propose a depth of the lines linked to the Brabohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327954944602462820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493366019305411742.post-69993011590062602112017-10-27T21:13:13.359+02:002017-10-27T21:13:13.359+02:00Hi Brabo,

I don't want to convince you to change your mind, but I thought it would be helpful to know for you and other readers:<br /><br />The import wizard let you decide how many moves you want to import (e.g. just the first 15 moves). You don't need to customize your PGN for this purpose. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193709795748789633noreply@blogger.com
