Hi Sirs,

 I am looking for a solution to memorize debut by heart. With black pieces, my reply to d4 is new Indian defence and there are approximately ten scenarios how the game could go. For each of them I have perfect theoretical response and I have them in pgn, but I am struggling to memorize all of them just scrolling the pgn file...I need computer to move white pieces and my hand to move black pieces in respond. Otherwise, I cant memorize ithappy.png

 

Is there any way to create a studio at chess.com/lichess or elsewhere, where I can pre-upload all ten scenarios and then I practice vs machine. Whats important for me is that the machine has to go on it own and I need to find a right move. The idea is to practice vs machine one hundred times for each scenario up to the 10th move so I memorize it very well.

 Thx guys.

You could create a new "opening book" from the pgn. Read up on whatever GUI you are using to find out how to create an opening book. If your GUI can't do it, then you could use Polyglot to do it.

Once you have such a book, set your GUI/engine to use it, then have the engine play white and it will play the white moves from your book. Most GUIs will have an indicator somewhere "Book" or such, if that turns off then you know you didn't play the book move, or you reached the end. If it doesn't have an indicator, then you guess by the engine response time. When in book it will play instantly, when out of book it will think before replying.
