It automatically defines for each position what the perfect next recall-interval is, depending on your last training result and the number of successful repetitions. This said it is very important that you really do the recall sessions as scheduled by the program otherwise your recall ratio will be much worse than 20%. Thus the program pushes you to recall positions which are due before you can learn new positions. This might not suit everybody, but it will pay-off in the long-run. If you want to see when your next sessions are schedules you can check the Opening Training Scheduler (p. 76) which you can find in the Statistic Module (p. 75). Additionally the program will show you on every program launch the scheduler if any recall sessions are soon due. 5.2 The Training Modes If you want to train your openings you have to decide whether you want to learn new positions, which you haven’t trained yet or if you want to recall positions, which you have trained already at least once. If you choose one of the recall modes you are not presented any new positions (which you might have added in the past). It is strongly recommended to first recall scheduled positions before you learn any new positions. Otherwise you will forget your already learned positions. 5.2.1 Recall Modes If you regularly recall scheduled positions you will be able to memorize very complex repertoires with little effort after a while. The initial phase will require some work on your side though as the recall intervals increase over time (the first recall interval is just a day and it increases up to months after several successful recalls). 5.2.1.1 Scheduled Recalls The recall mode 'Scheduled' let you recall already learned positions just before you are about to forget them. Thus it should always be checked before you learn any new moves.
