I'm not entirely sure how high up on the priority list an Opening Database is on Stefan's "to do list", but I wanted to start a topic discussion for this idea. I think it is a major problem that there is no Opening Database in CPT as this would allow you to check with your Opening Database when making your repertoire, but also allow some different training features. I know you could just use a different program such as ChessBase or SCID but it is a lot more convenient to say in one program without having to switch between programs.
For the Opening Database, I wanted to know if it is possible to edit it by changing how many moves there would be in the database, similar to what ChessBase offers. Additionally, would it be possible to add moves or delete moves one by one in the opening database. I know in SCID vs PC there is a feature for this but I don't think there is one in ChessBase.
Also, I wanted to know if there could be an opening live book as well, which I know ChessBase also offers. If not that would still be fine since there is already an opening database.
Also, it would be possible to create a training mode similar to what Lucas Chess does that tests you on the Opening Database by 1) either testing you on the most common percentage of moves played or 2) randomly testing you on the opening database?
Finally, I don't know if this can be done, but is it somehow possible to have the name of the opening pop-up and then be tested on it from your opening database? For instance, the trainer would say "play the Spanish Game, Alapin Defense ECO 60", and the trainer would test you on this by you having to play the moves for both sides until you reach the position, "Spanish Game, Alapin Defense." If you get the moves incorrect anywhere, then you would be forced to replay until you get the moves correct to reach the name of the opening desired. This would be a good way to remember the moves and name of any opening through a flashcard concept.
