Then I am sat there wondering whether to half-trust it, or to pretend I don't know it and calculate properly. I can't tell you how many classical OTB games I've had where I remember a move in an opening, or half-remember it, but have no idea why it is the move, because I've learnt it in a method like the above. But I really don't see the point of doing that. I realise this is considerably more work, but I would much rather have far less total lines anyway and have full explanations, since in most courses the number of lines is pretty ridiculous for the average student.Īnother thing which is partly up to me, but also part of the site, is the learning feature pretty much encourages you to spam moves by repetition, and it's very easy to stop caring and just playing whatever your mind instantly thinks of, whether wrong or not.Īgain, I realise that is the design of the site and a very efficient way to memorise. There is far less chance I will remember 10.Qa5 here from the comment given compared to if the above was there. What is the queen actually doing on a5 specifically? What ideas might it have in future variations (pinning c3-knight?). Why not 10.0-0? Why allow 11.Bb5+ Kf8? Why not 10.Be6 to get there before Bc4 happens? Additionally, more text would help. It would be 10x more useful to have something where other options are compared. look at a move and make a vague comment about what it is doing. I feel like anyone, including me (far below titled player) could annotate like this, i.e. This sort of comment is just useless to me. I've looked at a lot of courses, and here is a random example. And I feel there is no particular focus on getting the user to think deeply on their own about the moves, or from the author in trying to explain why one continuation is picked over another. Which is fine, and useful in some instances, but certainly not for the majority of openings and lines. With Chessable, obviously the concept of memorisation is core to the site. Even just playing "guess the move" with the opening database can be very productive if you're actively engaging your brain. To me, the openings I understand best are the ones I've sat down and looked at move-by-move, and tried to understand why each move is played for both sides compared to other continuations.
