A SHORTCUT FOR SETTING UP OPENING POSITIONS We learned about setting up positions in Chapter 8. If you're setting up an opening position (like the Caro-Kann variation we were just looking at), you can often use an opening tree as a way to set up the position quickly; in fact, it's how I set up that very Caro-Kann position. Many chess programs will let you click or double-click on a move in a chess tree to make that move on the board. So I just stepped through the opening tree move by move until I got to the position after 11.Bd2. Bingo! Easy position setup! 115 chessking.com
