Alternatives to Chess Position Trainer?

I am looking for an alternative to Chess Position Trainer because it has some major glitches and it seems that they have discontinued support. Otherwise it was perfect for me. Does anyone know of an alternative programs out there that would allow me to: - Create my own opening repertoire - Train wit

Hey, I just checked it out (and signed up for Pro), and it looks very promising! I did run into one bug (I'm trying to 'train' my Black repertoire, and how do I get White to make its first move?). So many tools out there -- chessbase, lichess, chessable, chessbook, chesstempo, openingtree.com -- I have tried many of them, but yours looks like it might find that balance I have been looking for, between ease of use, training functionality, organization, price, good UI, etc. Good job, thank you, and good luck!

Yes, thank you! We felt the same way and found ourselves just using a combination of those to get what we wanted. So we set out to build our own, and its been serving us well.
I did see your bug report, thank you very much for that, and we've gotten that issue fixed! Now if you are training as black, white will automatically make the first move for the selected line.
So glad to hear you agree with the balance we tried to strike. We hope to keep improving the app rapidly over the next few months, and getting it into the hands of real users like yourself is really helping us do that. Enjoy!
