New Previous Move window
Sometimes more than one move leads to a position. The window shows you this information and you can even
go backward in a different way than you did forward. Furthermore you can even switch openings by doing so as
candidate moves leading to the position are shown which not parts of the current opening are.
New training methodology: space repetitions
Beside the new storage system and advanced repertoire management features this is certainly the most important change. CPT introduced the flash-card concept to chess software which already greatly improved the
learning process, but it still had one drawback: it is asking you to repeat positions which you still know and thus
wasting valuable time. Now, what might sound like magic, CPT 4 is going to ask you to repeat positions right
before you are about to forget them. No, you don’t have to connect any weird cables from your PC to your head.
It’s even more magic than that. This goal is achieved by applying the concept of space repetitions. More about
this methodology in the The Methodology behind the Scenes (p. 65) section.
New Scheduler
With the new training methodology a scheduler is introduced. It will show you when you have to use the training functionality to recall positions before you are going to forget them. More about this in the Training Module
(p. 65) section.
