Chess Position Trainer

Anyone downloaded this? I've never heard of it before until Varenka mentioned it.

I had a brief look at CPT in the past, but not recently.

The main drawback when using such software (or flashcards, if that's what you choose) is that success is determined by knowing moves alone. These methods don't check that you know why a move was played. So you need to do this mentally yourself, and penalise yourself for moves you know but don't understand.

believe me, it's a lot easier to download it and check for yourself than starting a new thread and asking if people did.

anyway, I did't like it that much, the memorization process it offers is it's too rigid -based on a few number of single lines.

It's completely free? What's the catch?

yes, it's free.
