Once you created an opening repertoire in Chess Position Trainer (or imported it from elsewhere), you can cross-reference it against the database of games that you played. Here is a little walkthrough of how to use this feature.
Typically I play a lot of games on ICC, which stores all my games in a PGN file.
By using “show novelties” menu, I get a prompt for a pgn file, and then – a list of games:
Clicking on each game takes me to the position in which the game departed from my repertoire! The tool comments on what I should have played, according – to my own opening preparation
Apparently castling is premature here, but, alas, I forgot how exactly to deal with this piece sacrifice in the dragon, and did not play Nb3.
The new version of Chess Position Trainer is coming out soon, I can’t wait!
