    Error when 2 moves are possible

    Hello,

     in "cpt" i was training the >scotish opening. 

    In one point of a position "cpt" makes an error. This causes when i have to choose one of the two Knights from d4 to b5. One of the knights is standing on d4, the other on c3. (I have white)

    So i move the knight of d4 to b5 (the right move), but "cpt" marks this as error, and this move is not consider in the statistic. And so "cpt" trains me all the time on the same position.

    I have tried to avoid this "bug", put in all my moves of my repertoire move by move in "cpt" (not import an .pgn-file; there are more comfortable ways to put in repertoire,  for example produce .pgn with >Arena, keyboard input)

     

    ok

     

    thx

    This is not a bug.

    When there's more than one acceptable move for the side you're training on, you have to define for CPT how you want it to test you.

    In the candidate move list, you have to click on Ndb5 to ensure it has an asterisk in front of it to mark it as a "best move".

    Ncb5 could also be marked as a "best move" if you want to be tested on that variation as well.

    In the Training  module, go to the "Correct Move" tab.

    You have to set "Which candidate moves count as correct" to "All best moves".

    You have to set "Which moves should CPT take into account when calculating a variation to test you in?" for "Moves of your color" to "All best moves"

     

    Now even with this, sometimes CPT will expect you to play Ncb5 and sometimes Ndb5 depending on which variation has a poorer score at the moment.  However you won't be penalized for playing the "wrong" move; CPT which just move your piece back and play the move necessary to get into the poorer variation.

    Of course you can force training in one particular line by moving the preferred candidate move to the top of the candidate moves list and setting the training module back to "Only top ranked candidate move"
