Very nice. What other types of studying do you use with the SOP? Openings? Middlegame?
I'm trying to figure out how best to do that. So far what I've come up with is this:
Openings: Play whatever opening I'm studying (this usually works best with white since I can control the first move). Whatever SOP responds with, then play that out and learn that line (or take back that move and hope for a better response). This seems like a lengthy process because it's not as linear as studying one line first, then the next, etc.
For middle game I'm not sure how best to use the SOP. I've seen one good method is to play a classic game and stop at each move after the opening to try and write down all candidate moves and the best move, with my reasoning. Then play the move that was played and try and see where I differed and why. SOP doesn't really help here since I could use any board for that.
One thing I'm looking at is using it with Lucas Chess with the driver described elsewhere in this club area. LC does provide some unique ways to study with different techniques.
