This article is about someone needing to write a >program that actually trains. I am not arguing with you. Surely it would be good if such a software existed, however, they do, and I use my chess engines as a training tool. The only software I don't have, and I plan to get is Chessbase 7. It does not matter if someone created such a program because it will not train the user period, no matter what. Motivation and clearly defined goals are the keys to training. And would the program know that you need training a specific area, even if the program makes such suggestion of training, I'll bet that the user would disagree with the suggestion and refuse to follow up in the training. Human nature never changes, it's like searching for El Dolrado, or, if only if I had ..... (you fill in the blanks) my life would be easier. I believe that the software engines and database available nowadays are all the tools necessary to train and if one uses it properly can easily achieve master or grandmaster status. The key is hard work and honesty self analysis. :) Laurence
