For a couple days now I have been searching for a way to practice openings. I do not want to memorize a specific opening, I want to exercise in responding to my opponent.
I'm looking for some kind of tool or software where I ideally can practice as follows:
We start a game and the computer plays 1. e4. I respond with 1...e5. Since that is a move by the book, the tool makes another move, for example, 2. Qh5. I than blunder with the move 2...g6. Now the software tells me that that is a (very) bad move, and it does that by showing to me what happens next: '3. Qxe5+ and you lose your rook to a fork. Play 2...Nc6 instead.'
The game than rewinds to 2. Qh5 and we continue from there or maybe we start over and now after 1. e4 e5 I need to not blunder against 2. Nf3.
So what I want:
- I play an opening against a computer
- The computer responds with different moves (not just with one opening)
- When I make a blunder/a move that isn't theory, the computer tells me
- We continue play till we 'finished' the book moves
If there isn't some kind of tool out there with theory moves included, it would also be ok if I could enter some openings my self:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6
1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6
1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 g6?? 3. Qxe5+
Than the computer always plays something from this list and warns me when I play something not on the list or a blunder.
What I came up with myself
Now I have heard of https://openings.chessbase.com/ but I found it a bit daunting so I don't really know if it can do what I want or not.
