7 Tips & Tricks
 A double-click works for most lists. E.g. if you double-click on a move in the position explorer or candidate move list, it will be shown. If you double click on an opening in the opening repertoire explorer,
it will be shown.
 All data is automatically saved. There is never the need to explicitly save something. Actually, there
even not exists a single save button in the whole program.
 The most important keyboard shortcuts are the left and right arrows to navigate forward and backward
through your opening (if you are not editing a comment). Next are shift-left and shift-right which will
navigate forward and backward depending on the type you have selected in the Navigation group (by default it is “branch”). Jumping forth and back to the branches of your opening is a true time safer for
many scenarios.
 You can pin the navigation pane which contains the repertoire explorer to gain some space on your
screen. Just click on the small icon at the top right corner of the navigation window.
 You can drag & drop all windows as you like. Also changing the size of every window is possible and
the adjustments are saved for your next session.
 Don’t miss the training option blindfold as it will help you to improve your visualization skills.
 Get used to the “Run games against Repertoire” module. Once setup it is a very powerful tool to get the
best out of your games (or someone else). You can even update your training scores based on played
games.
 The training option “Complete Line Mode” in combination with “Start with New Position” offer a very
efficient way to learn new openings and it is actually the author’s favorite setting.
 Recall positions in time! Run the program everyday and recall scheduled positions and you will save a
lot of time in the long-run.
