This program will enhance your opening chess repertoire. It will give a list of exercise and the ones that you have trouble are the ones that you will have to exercise the most. You train vs the computer and it forces you to do the opening you choose. You may also load old games or some grandmaster’s matches. If you have a site and like to help people with putting your matches up. This might be perfect for you because you can add notations to each moves and then save the game . Let someone open it on a program that lets you play recorded chess matches and bam. But even with everything it does good , I believe the price tag is to much.

Chess Vision Trainer is what the name says a vision trainer. Something that will prepare you to anticipate the moves of your opponent. You will do so many of these trainings that any similar pattern that will appear in a real game you will know what to await. This program will take you from amateur to master if you use it as it is meant to be. Spend a whole lot of time on training with the coach. Atleast each day a few hours and in a few months you won’t be a master but you won’t be a pushover either.
