Here’s a game with a suitable tactic and a nice, logical opening. It could be that I’ll need to doctor the finish to make it more instructive and might even enter several versions of the game showing how the end might play out if the losing side had done something different. After that I’ll see if there’s a decent tactical idea at the end and then put it into a pgn (portable game notation) file that can be imported into the training software. How do you set this up? Well I often start with a search of Chessbase for short, decisive games in the kind of position I’d like him to learn about. And in repeating both the opening and the tactic at the end he learns both. I’ve been doing quite a bit of this with my son, and he just loves it. I think they can be fantastic for players to learn typical tactical ideas as long as they input files of openings variations which contain them. Import flashcards into open source space repetition software Anki. Yet I’ve discovered a wider application, depending on the lines you put into them. Automatically create chess flashcards out of a PGN file and instantly download them to your computer. These programs are ostensibly aimed at strong(ish) players who want to learn openings and are not seen as being suitable for weaker players, or those who wish to improve their tactical skill. Here’s a video of this latter program with will give an idea about how it works: There’s also an Ipad app called Chess Openings Trainer. Just over a month ago I looked at Chess Position Trainer, there’s a similar pieces of PC software called Chess Openings Wizard.
A number of chess programs have been created that allow players to learn openings by importing their preferred variations and then repeating them.
