A slight annoyance to me has always been the course - "Endings, Openings, and a taste of the middle. This is a huge course with over two hundred problems, and I wish it was split into three different courses. Even though it is pretty basic and fundamental material, when I want to work on the endgame, I want to work on the endgame and don't want to have a bunch of opening problems pop up and vice versa. It's better in the online version than the disk version as you can more easily filter lessons. It would be great to have a filter within specific courses to only do the strategy lessons, or endgame lessons, etc.

Great feedback. Perhaps we should split that one up.
Yeah, something like "Elementary endings" & "Standard opening lines." Right now, I still use the disk version of Mentor more than the online one. After your proposed changes I plan to upgrade to diamond and then I will be a real online Chess Mentor power user.

Also while on the topic of Endings, Openings and a taste of the middle, there are some lessons that are repeated countless numbers of times. I mean the same exact lessons are being repeated like 5 times each.
Yes, I've noticed that too. Basic Opposition, the fundamental K & P vs. K ending. While these are very important to master - it doesn't seem necessary to repeat them so many times. On another thread it has been suggested a way to bookmark lessons that have been completely mastered vs. lessons that ought to be repeated or need real work.

Youre not the only one's.Sadly though as some cant seem to recognize the oppertunity to use these patterns I think we could use some more live game's examples of these positions being setup in games.
This would help in allowing us to plan some of these basic endings and hopefully see them in our own games as a result.
