    Sir Can i suggest? If can you make a training on trapping a queen? that is attackig early or maybe in mid game, especially when the time queen attacks on the g and b file.Its like mating a king, but a queen moves so many squares compare to king thats why its so hard for me as a newbie, I guess its good thing.

      It is possible to prepare a tactic training to learn these moves. This is a very simple way to do that you want.
      You want something more complex that is difficult to implement.

    i also suggest a training on how to defend an opponents mate, like what piece is needed to sacrifice, what square does the king need to move if its in check to avoid checkmate,which is the best to defend a piece as sacrifice to cancel the mate, and how to counterattack when opponent is making mating net. Sometimes defense is most people weaknesses, and that's what i want to improve.
    that's all sir. i hope you will recognize my ideas.

    I made a custom position to play against stockfish DD and, because of my huge lead from the start, I was able to promote all of my pawns. However, after I promoted a few of my pawns, Stockfish DD started to move slowly even when there was only 1 legal move.

      Analyzing the game gave some pretty weird scores... such as "Black mates in 814" while he (black) has a long king and I have a bunch of queens and a king and 2 pawns.

Future version 10 step 05: Scanner of positions

Some days ago Juan Carlos Antón, head of UNED chess school , does give me permission to include tactical positions from the PDFs on the downloads of UNED web, which I consider very educational. The problem is there is no possibility of obtaining  original fens. The solution to ease my work, has been to create something like an OCR of image positions, which at this specific case is working very well. Only three concepts are handled : mark, deduce, and learn. First, mark the board, the next step is to deduce, if there are errors the user corrects them manually and asked the program to learn from them. At the beginning there are quite a few errors, but less and less. To mark the Board a transparent window is launched that occupies the desk and lets see the PDF and select a position. It is selected with the mouse by dragging a corner to the other, and it is fitted with the arrow keys. At the end the Enter key is pressed to accept the selected and continue in the program wi...
