Request Smart One-Click Move-Input option

[Jonathan003]

At the moment I only know of three applications that support it. The old Chess Position Trainer the Android app Chess trainer pro, and sinds recently Chess Repertoire Companion.

In Chess Position Trainer this option doesn't work very well, but in the android app Chess trainer pro, and Chess Repertoire Companion it works great. This is what the manual of Chess Position Trainer says about this option

The Smart One-Click Move-Input allows you to make your moves during training much faster. When you start a new training session you can activate or deactivate it anytime in the ribbon. Once activated you only have to click on the target square during a training session. Then the program will evaluate, if it is the target square of the correct candidate move. In this case the program treats your click like you made the correct move on the board otherwise it will be considered as wrong. Note that you can’t drag & drop a piece anymore when this mode is activated. If you try to do it nonetheless the square of the piece you try to drag is interpreted as the target square, which will be wrong. If you drop the piece on the original square it is also counted as wrong. Sometimes more than one piece can move to the same target square and maybe you had a different one in mind when you clicked on the target square. In order to simplify the process the program does not care of this detail. In practice it should not matter as you will see the move the program was expecting anyway.

This is what the description about "Smart Move Input" in Chess Trainer Pro says

When making a move on the chess board, move is played as soon as uniquely defined, From and To squares can be touched in any order.

Maybe the function "Smart One-Click Move-Input" could also work whit only toughing the destination square, of a chess piece. I think it is implemented like this in Chess Repertoire Companion.

To bad I'm not a programmer. But I have allot of ideas and a great interest to improve software for making and training chess opening repertoires. Also software to make and train tactics and endgames.
