The Fritz Online app offers important support for practical training: calculation training. This function makes it possible for you to input and test out moves without seeing the pieces on the chess board. This allows you to target the training of your ability to calculate variations accurately, an important precondition for success in tournament play.
The chess engine which is running evaluates the position – linked to the playing level chosen – after each move you enter. The user can input complete variations and single moves and, if required, at any point check the subsequent position of the board. Now let us take a look at the function in some detail.
As a first step the user must choose a playing level. You should take note of the fact that there are differing levels and thus different playing strengths can be selected. Moreover, that level can be changed at any time during the game!
After choosing a playing level, start a new game and play some moves.
You can start the calculation training at any point.
After you activate calculation training, the first thing you notice is that all moves up to the most recently played one are removed from the notation window.
Any moves now entered on the board are represented in the notation, but there is no change in the position on the chess board! The moves of the pieces are not displayed on the board.
So right from the start you see the starting position from which calculation training is being carried out by the input of moves for both sides. Some useful extra information is provided by the engine which offers the user an evaluation of the actual position.
When calculating deep variations you may possibly lose track of the overall picture, but at the bottom of the notation window you can at any time insert a diagram into the notation and immediately compare the result with the starting position.
During the input of moves, another useful piece of help is available to you.
Whenever you click on a piece, the program gives you hints in the form of squares highlighted in colour. Green target squares distinguish safe squares, therefore that move would be a good one. Squares highlighted in red would be the opposite. This function, Assisted Analysis, will already be familiar to users of ChessBase 14.
You will find information about Assisted Analysis here ….
Another click will end calculation training and you can continue your game against the chess program!
