Chess Arsenal
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Organize and memorize your opening knowledge.
Chess Arsenal puts you in command of a customized opening repertoire. Enter your favorite systems from books, selectively update them to trends in Grandmaster games, and revise lines between rounds at your next tournament. Quizzes are based on personal preference, not the statistical decisions of computers or popularity. Find what works for you and out-prepare your opponents!
Repertoire Features:
* Enter any opening variation and specify key moves you want to play.
* Provide alternate key moves in any position.
* Easily expose gaps in your repertoire.
* Build lines for White and Black without switching context.
* Record annotations (!, ??, ?!, etc.) and take notes.
* Export to PGN file via email.
Training Features:
* Take random quizzes from your repertoire.
* Repeat failed quizzes until you get them right.
* Find your best and worst results by percent right.
* Identify opening weaknesses for further study.
** Don’t be caught off guard at the board. The best time to prepare is before the game! **
Fill Chess Arsenal with your favorite openings and all their side-lines. Tell it which response you would play in a tournament. These moves come from your own research, not the app, so you are building a truly personalized opening repertoire.
Do you have a standard response to 1. e4, but change it against a particular player? Enter both moves into your repertoire and enter a comment on the move.
Switch to training mode and your openings are played back until a key position is reached. It’s up to you to play the move you decided when you built your opening arsenal.
Identify openings to study by reviewing your training results. Feeling confident with certain moves? Tell Chess Arsenal to skip them while training and focus on more challenging lines.
* PGN Export *
Chess Arsenal can e-mail your entire repertoire in the popular Portable Game Notation (PGN) format for use in most chess software. The PGN contains all the moves you looked at, with your repertoire moves marked in comments. To use the export, copy the text from your e-mail into a text file and rename it with a “.PGN” extension, or Copy-Paste the e-mail into certain chess programs.
