Opening Analysis

If you have a chess opening with thousands of (complex) positions you can use Chess Position Trainer to analyze the opening with an UCI engine to find blunders or critical candidate moves for the opponent, which are not yet covered.

The analysis can be controlled by several parameters making it even more powerful.

Let the engine analyze your complete opening while you do something else.

After the analysis has been finished you can easily check all positions, which were marked critical by the engine. A comment has been added automatically. If you agree with the analysis you can add the suggested move.

Position Explorer

Alternative Navigation through your Repertoire

PositionTreeAlready since the first version in June 2004 Chess Position Trainer offers a unique position tree view of your repertoire in a separate window which has been much improved with version 4. You can expand or close any node. If you click on a node the corresponding position is shown on the board.

PositionTree-mouseIf you move your mouse over a specific move notation and wait for a second a preview with a chessboard shows the corresponding position. This way you can remain at the current position on the main chessboard, which makes it very easy to quickly browse through your opening in an alternative way.
