Edit Opening

The edit opening screen allows you to enter moves into the current opening. You can enter moves manually by moving pieces on the board, or automatically by importing a PGN file. You can also add graphics such as colored arrows and squares (with a long press on the board) to illustrate tactical points.

When you navigate through an opening, the moves are displayed in a list to the right of the chessboard.

You can select a move from the list by performing a regular click on it.

If you wish, you can reorder the moves in the list by performing a long press on the move you want to reorder.

ic_insert_chart_black_48dp.png

Allows you to enter the probability of occurrence (low, normal or high) of the selected move during a game. This parameter is used when training in random mode only. In random mode, the computer simulates opponent moves based on the probability of occurrence of each move during a game. A move with a higher probability of occurrence will be submitted more often and vice versa.

A long press on the board allows you to:

  • copy the FEN of the current position to clipboard; or

  • set the current position as a favorite position (a yellow star will appear at top right of the chessboard); or

  • add graphics to illustrate tactical points (colored arrows and colored squares).

 

Note: Favorite positions are used when training with flash cardsIn the flash cards training panel there is an option to train only the favorite positions instead of training all positions.
