Effective chess training


Answer

Playing strength results from the ability to recognize constellations of forces on the chess board and to apply existing tactical motives. All our chess programs offer various possibilities to train these important skills in a targeted way. The functions described below provide especially beginners and new users with an easy way to get suitable training positions.

The corresponding training functions are available under the menu item Training.

A large, representative particle database is supplied with our programs, which you can use as a data basis for these functions. The functions described below can be performed with any game database!

Position databases containing only position fragments (positions) are not supported! In the dialog you can not only set the desired party database, but also set the maximum solution time.

When selecting the party position, the program demonstrates a certain inherent intelligence and always loads a party position from the database that is particularly suitable for the selected training mode.

The procedure described below is valid for all three training modes. Activate e.g. under "Training" the entry Attack Training.

The dialog shown before appears. A click on the button with the three dots starts the file selection dialog of Windows. Now select the desired database. You can use any well sorted game database from us.

Under "Next game" you define the game number from which the game stored in the database will be loaded. This is especially useful for large databases with many games. This setting will be saved. "Minutes" defines the maximum time for the conversion of the solution. For example, if the value 1 was set, the solution for the selected task will be displayed after one minute. If the task was solved correctly and completely, the program immediately loads the next batch with a new task. Clicking OK loads the party position that is best suited for the task.

The entries made by the user are marked with green color on the chess board.

After the set solution time has elapsed, the dialog with the result of the tactics training and the solution will be displayed. In the program result display you will find all correct solutions in the given task with yellow color.

Since the entries made by the user are displayed in green color, you can immediately recognize which options have not been marked or have been overlooked. Incorrect entries are marked by the program with red color. Here you can see at once where you have made an incorrect entry.


Tactics training result

The program displays the results for all three training modes in one dialog.

Note: If incorrect entries are made in a task, the program does not award any points for them. This is to avoid that the user achieves higher scores by random entries (motto: Just click, maybe it is correct). In addition, the concentration for the respective task is sharpened. If you don't care about the point system, you can immediately see the solution by clicking on the button "End process" at the top of the screen above the chessboard.
