5 Training Module
The training module is a core part of the program. It helps you to memorize your opening repertoire in an efficient and structured way.

5.1 The Methodology behind the Scenes
In order to understand the following training methodology you have to understand the concept of candidate
moves (s. The concept of Candidate Moves p. 17).
If you use the training functionality of the program, it will test you in your openings by playing the opposite
color. It will present you a position and you have to play the right move for your side. The right move is by default the first ranked candidate move. So the order of your candidate moves is very important for the training.
The training positions will be shown without any hint for the candidate move. If you don’t play the correct candidate move after two attempts the position will be considered as not learned otherwise, if you played the right
move with the first attempt it is considered as learned. Each opening has a training score which is calculated
based on the number of positions which are considered as learned. You can add or edit candidate moves in the
opening module (p. 40).
