I've been testing and become more confused. So, succinctly, how can I create a set that loops through the problems and jhave problems drop when I solve them correctly 3 times in under 15 seconds each time?

It seems that the solve time setting result in immediately dropping a problem when it has been solved within 15 seconds?

In Chess Tactics if I click on CHANGE SET it brings up a dialog that contains the tree of sets, but if I click on one it doesn't stay selected and there is only a cancel button at the bottom. Can anyone enlighten me. Thanks

And BTW it seems to work exactly as expected on the old site

If you don't know the answer it would be helpful to know if this works for you or not. TRAINING - CHESS TACTICS then big orange CHANGE SET BUTTON.

Hi Richard,
Do you have any update information about when we can expect the implementations of "Smart One-Click Move-Input"?

Since this thread was first made we added two non-spaced repetition drilling modes, 'review in order' and 'least  recent/unseen first' which would seem to address your issue. These are the first setting shown when you open the opening trainer settings.

It is on the todo list, but no estimate on when it will happen. It should be relatively easy to add, so it has a better chance than some other more difficult items of seeing development time in the short to medium term.

Yup, MINUS-SIGN definitely makes more logical sense, so it was a good suggestion, and I'm glad you're happy with the outcome!

Nalimov 6 piece Tablebase agrees that 1.Qb4 is a draw with perfect play.

The problem has been disabled.

Houdini considers 1.Qb4 an alternative, maybe check with a database.

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply, the glyphs look great for me now!

Yeah I am using Linux and apparently the font used for these symbols is Liberation Sans.

About whether it will look better or worse for all users: It would make sense that the fonts that don't care about distinguishing HYPHEN-MINUS from MINUS-SIGN would just use HYPHEN-MINUS for both and if the font designer *does* care about this, I'd assume he/she would preview the MINUS-SIGN in a context of other math symbols (especially the MINUS-SIGN). Of course, you never know and maybe some font designer had some other idea on how MINUS-SIGN should be rendered (one that could look bad near the plus-sign). All in all, given that the MINUS-SIGN is the sign designed for this purpose, it seems reasonable it'd be the most likely to look good on average.

I know this is an old thread, but if others stumble upon, the easiest fix for me has been to reset the training data. By resetting, I can completely start the training from scratch. This has really helped me take the opening move by move.

I don't really understand why the admin are so adamant on spaced repetition in all the forum posts. I understand the benefits and that's why I am here, but ONLY doing spaced repetition means that if I haven't trained in a while, I can refresh my mind. There should be some type of "degrade" variable that automatically walks through the full lines when not trained over an extended period of time.

Reset is the easiest way to mimic such a feature
