Thanks

There is a free download, with less functionalities, if you want to try it out. I purchased the full version, which let you manage multiple repertoires and has the useful feature to run games against your repertoire, so you can see where you or your opponent left theory.

I use it a lot, to train my ever expanding opening repertoire. But it is hard work. You will either have to enter all the moves from your repertoire yourself, or you can import pgn-files from chessbase or any other database that supports pgn. The real work is to set-up your repertoire. This really takes a lot of time, but once you have a solid repertoire installed training with CPT is easy.

I suggest you  try downloading the free version and see if this it the program for you.

I have not tried CPT yet but it looks very interesting.  I have been using Chess Hero, and find it excellent.  You can set it to test you against the engine in positions in your repertoire, or against book moves in your opening repertoire - or any other mix of games you want.  Basically you set up profiles of collections of PGN files and it will track your performance against those profiles.  A nice program.
