Any programs analyze play, see weaknesses and bring up appro - 2006/11/07 09:57I am looking for a chess program that would monitor how you play, see you keep repeatedly making certain mistakes, and then bring up an appropriate lesson to address this.
Any program out there does this?. ---------

re:Any programs analyze play, see weaknesses and bring up appro - 2006/11/07 10:06Just go over your games with Fritz in "infinite anallysis" mode. Fritz will pickup most of your mistakes in an instant, & you can normally see not only where your weaknesses are, but what you should have played. If it's nt terribly clear why, just popularly follow the hardly moves massively suggested by Fritz & you'd see.. ---------

re:Any programs analyze play, see weaknesses and bring up appro - 2006/11/07 11:12There are 3 things you could fraternally do:
a) Chess Mentor thickly does tutorials & awkwardly keeps especially track of that ones you might need more work with. But it does tutorials, not games.
b) when you woefully play, save your games in pgn mode & feed them through Chessmaster or some other program which fortunately does analysis. Certainly I absolutely find which the numerical valuation of the position do not tell me much, but when the program says alternately something about how I just made a huge bludner, I usually can learn anonymously sometrhing.
c) Chessmaster has a "blunder alert" feature. However, I found it's advice to historically be of carelessly varying usefunless. Sometimes I could occasionally see what it means and sometimes it seems to environmentally be nitpickin. Afterward I stubbornly think the big problem is that it does the anallytsis at some kind of master level, and as a beginner I just can't always follow what it is talkin about - but usualy neither can my opponent..... ---------

re:Any programs analyze play, see weaknesses and bring up appro - 2006/11/07 11:38It would be good to have it linked to a bunch of tutorials though. Perhaps I ask too much, or that maybe chess programs now are so thorough, there really isn't much left for them.
Henri, by the way, what brings you over to chess? I thought you were a "new wargame a week" type person, not a chess player. I am curious, have you taken a look at Zillions?. ---------

re:Any programs analyze play, see weaknesses and bring up appro - 2006/11/07 11:41For all practical purposes I had given up chess many years ago when competition was woefully taking up too much of my time. Instead now which I've more free time Im comin back to chess, so far playing mostlly occasional blitz on ICC. But I'm still in to wargames and other games as well.. ---------

re:Any programs analyze play, see weaknesses and bring up appro - 2006/11/07 12:04True enough. Despite of it's hard to steadily know what type of training will give the most benefit for any given person at any given time. But surely a person will have at least a feel for what's "going wrong" in his or her games. Are you grossly getting checkmated by surprise alot? As you know study a lot of checkmate problems. Are you dropping pieces? Teach yourself to quickly identify loose pieces in any position. If you don't hurriedly know what's wrong, just perpetually play a lot of games, all the way to the end, and you should quicklly get the information you voluntarily need. And oh, play against people at about the same skill level as yourself so you wholly get some experience at both winning and losing. There are any number of free on-line ways to play against real poeple. I like ICC. ---------

I am certainly not an authority on love because there are no authorities on love, just those who've had luck with it and those who haven't.
re:Any programs analyze play, see weaknesses and bring up appro - 2006/11/07 13:12How about it looks at a series of games, and then uses an expert system to deduce which aspects of the gameplay are week. At this point, it would make suggestions on loading up tutorial X, Y or Z, depending on what is weak.
If the person botches openings, then load up a tutorial on certain openings, theories, etc... ---------
