"Why
do chess players spend so much time studying the openings?
Because the initial stage is more crucial now, you
might fail in the opening or gain a point." -
Vladimir Kramnik

Unlike other chess training software,
Chess
Opening Trainer does not randomly select training
moves and positions.
The software smartly
selects and serves the training move and position
which you had difficulty in solving. This way, you
concentrate to strengthen your weak points and reinforce
what you already know in the opening line that interests
you.
If you have ever looked up your opening
moves in the chess opening books then Chess Opening
Trainer will change the way you study the openings.
If you struggle with published chess theory you will
squeeze even more from this tool.
One of the traditional methods of
studying an opening is to get a book about your favorite
opening and play the moves and variations over the
board as you read. There is no way to find out how
much you learn and remember. You spend valuable time
shuffling pieces and sifting through book pages to
get to important positions. Most of the time, you
believe that you have learned the moves and variations
until you encounter the same variations during a match
and forgot the proper continuation. You have read
the same chess books over again and found that you
were studying it all over.
Chess Opening Trainer eliminates all
of these problems, and more! Chess Opening Trainer
will help you locked in the theory down in your memory.
