it will help you to save time while training your chess material.
You will also understand why CPT does not teach you anything on its own, but needs your help to team-up.
Many people are looking for shortcuts in their life. Usually they look sweet at first sight, but come with some
drawback in the long run. CPT does not promise to be a shortcut. If you work with CPT you will obtain a very
powerful tool which can give you a competitive advantage, but it doesn’t come for free or any effort on your
side.
