About Chess Opening Trainer

*Seven Short Paragraphs With Everything You Need to Know:*

1. This is a very easy Application I created for myself, but hope you find useful. It allows you to enter chess openings you wish to learn and then try yourself on them. Think interactive flashcards. That's it. That's all it does. There are dozens of resources out there to support you decide on your opening, but this is not 1 of them.

2. You have 2 opening trees, 1 for white and 1 for black. Edit them as much as you want, add comments, import from a PGN, or export the PGN for whatever nefarious purposes you may have.

3. For training, navigate to the node from which you wish to train and practice from there. It will quiz you on all the positions below that node.

4. If you go to the starting position, it will train you on the entire tree.

5. There are 3 training modes: Random, Breadth first, and Depth first.

6. Random will jump around, breadth-first will do every layer in turn, and depth-first will complete every line before going back to the latest fork. Any that you obtain wrong will be re-done at the end.

7. If you import a PGN it will blend it into the existing tree.

The above should be enough to obtain started. Below is a FAQ:

Q: Are you any awesome at chess?

A: No. I'm not a awesome coder either. Frankly, this entire project's existence is a miracle.

*****

Q: What's with the trees that are already programmed in.

A: Those are just random examples that I ship the program with so that you can play without having to enter anything. But you will probably find it frustrating, since it's marking your answers as right or wrong based on whether it's in the random tree it ships with.

My expectation is that you'll prune the tree and create your own with your very own openings that you've selected for your style of play, or whatever trap Remote Chess Academy has posted recently.

Q: How do I enter my variations?

A: Just enter them in the setup screen. You can see the moves that are already in your tree in the navigation section. You can navigate with the buttons or by making that move on the board. If you create a move on the board that isn't part of your tree already, that move will be added to your tree automatically. If you go back, you will see it in the list of moves at the bottom.

Note, it only shows up to 15 moves in the navigation at the bottom of the screen. If your move doesn't present up, it will still be part of the tree. You just have to do the move on the board to obtain there. I don't know who would prepare for more than 18 moves from a given position, but you do you.

You can also import a PGN by copy and pasting it in the Import PGN popup.

Q: How do I enter comments?

A: Just enter them in the comments section. The comments for your turn will flash up briefly when you enter it correctly during training. And the opponent's turn will appear when you are being asked to answer to it. If you edit the comment, it saves immediately.

*****

Q: How do I delete parts of my tree?

A: Navigate to the move you wish to delete and then hit the delete button. Note that it will prune the tree at this point. All moves after that position will be deleted also. You can't delete the root position, so if you wish to start with a nice, new empty tree, you need to navigate into every of the moves that appear in the starting position and delete those. That will delete everything, because it prunes all moves past those moves also.

For example, suppose you have 1. e4 c5 (Sicilian Defense) entered into your tree with a entire tree of lines dealing with variations beyond that. If you navigate to 1. e4 c5 and hit "Delete variation" all those Sicilian lines will be deleted. You will be shown the position after 1. e4, and 1... c5 will no longer be a part of your tree. You might do this if, for example, you have a fresh variation that you wish to do versus the Sicilian and you wish to import the PGN without keeping what you've already entered.
