It’s incredible how effective it is to train the same specific opening over and over. Just 30 repetitions and I feel like I have a whole new understanding of that opening.

I never use spaced repetition to review my openings. I see openingtrainer as similar to playing blitz games, with the advantages of: a) it's focused on the opening only. b) not saving my opening prep in a public place. c) can easily focus on a particular opening.

I'm enjoying Opening Trainer. I was unsure of the value vs using Lichess Tools to train against the Lichess DB. It's great being able to not be limited to my desktop to do this kind of thing!

A discord server I am in with only people 2000+ has several people starting to use OpeningTrainer as a core part of their training. Just super useful to get reps against rare gambits played by master level players.

I tend to use a wide variety of tools and get value from all of them. My routine would generally be building and maintaining my repertoire in ChessBook […] and practicing in OpeningTrainer (which I find more enjoyable than drilling).

Openingtrainer gave me a comfortable space to explore the moves that get played most often in the openings I want to practice, figure out how to deal with them, and get practice and repetitions doing so.

Just want to say how great your trainers are and how much I appreciate your support

I didn't know that I needed this, but it actually seems incredible useful. During a game I am always wondering somewhere in the opening phase if my choices were right, but then I have to continue the full game before I can analyse. This really helps with opening practice.

Thanks for adding that move exclusion feature to the app. I really do think you have made something great that will have an impact on chess improvement. Your app has made me approach chess in a new way now, and I am enjoying chess a lot more and playing much more aggresively. Cheers.
