I have been reading chess forums, newsgroups or blogs for more than 10 years and this has been a common mantra whenever somebody asks in a forum about a good way to memorize openings or which software could support them on this task.

You don’t have to wait till the CPT iPad App has been finished. In the meantime you can already run CPT on your iPad, Android tablet or Kindle Fire today if you have a Wi-Fi connection to your PC.

The other day Bryan from ChessCube made me aware of a pretty simple way to stream the desktop of your PC on almost any device. Sometime ago some other user made me already aware of such an approach, but this time I gave it a try and what can I say? It works like a charm!

I’m very happy to announce the relaunch of the new site of Chess Position Trainer. Finally anybody interested in CPT can easily (!) find the latest version and news about Chess Position Trainer. Thanks a lot to Daniel Markwald for the design and creation of this new website which I already like very much!

We are having some last issues with the registration process and probably a few more, so please bear with us. We hope to fix them soon!

I'm happy to announce the availability of the CPT 4 manual. It contains 80 pages with many screenshots covering all parts of the program in detail. I gave my best to get as much info into it as possible. Special attention was paid to cover the most common questions asked in the forum or per email in the past.

The implementation of the new images of the chess pieces has been finished. An image for the chessboard is also planned, but this will take a little bit longer.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope you have some relaxing days. A final release is ready for downloading now. This version does not expire although some features will be deactivated after 30 days unless you register it. More about this in a later post.
