You are probably being
outplayed in the chess opening. Constantly.
How can anyone keep up
with so much theory?
I used to get my butt
kicked in the opening every time I
sat down at the board at the Dark Horse Chess Club. These
guys would play the opening fast - and snicker as I got deep
into the opening.
One of my opponents
worked as a grave digger, boasting that his job allowed him to
study chess for 4 hours every day.
How could I compete with
someone who could study chess openings for 4 hours a day?!
I
got sick of it, so (back in 1984) I handcrafted a DOS program that
would test me on chess openings.
(That's right,
I've been making chess opening software for 24 years.)
Soon after that,
my fellow club members
started to fear me.
"Bookup (Chess Openings Wizard) is simply the best way to study chess and it is
incredibly useful in chess openings preparation.
It's
is one of the most user-friendly programs I've seen,
written by the most user-friendly programmers I've ever
met. It's great stuff!"

"Just one more note: I spent many weekends sifting through
ECO etc. and input my chosen chess opening moves into
Bookup (Chess Openings Wizard).
This exercise, plus the easy lookup and review was
very important to me in becoming a master."

Even if you've never
finished a chess book, this software will get
you to constantly improve your opening preparation
and theoretical knowledge - .
Now
that's certainly a tall statement, but it's quite possible, in fact, quite straightforward to
use every
game you play to improve your strength in your very next game.

"Hi Mike, guess whose rating went from 1500 on a good day to
1765? I'm using the endgame trainers daily, and I can
really see, actually see, the lessons appear on the board
when I need them in an actual game on the net (ICC)."

Do you know chess players who are researching huge collections of
games and playing against outrageously strong programs, but they're
not making much progress in their own playing strength?
Lots of players are still using trees of game lines to
prepare. Join the elite who use this positional
database to drastically cut down on the time and effort
needed to become incredibly prepared in the chess openings.

"Mike, Earlier this week, I beat WGM Neeltje
(Holland) on the ICC site. It was a blitz game
(5-12) and I used the Bookup line from the London II
book -- just the way I practiced it a thousand times
using the practice opening option...
Thanks to
the work that you and Chuck put into that London II book, I
have been able to learn and remember most of the lines that
can come out of this position and I can save a lot of clock
for the end game. A thousand thanks -- make that 2064 thanks
(my current Correspondence Chess Candidate Master rating). I
could not be playing this well without the help of the big
guys at Bookup!"

And what
if it were also easy? |
