Subject: Don't make that move make another one.
I am trying to learn the openings. When I play online I get some of
the same moves made most of the time. I can't remember the most common
ones each time, but I can tell when the computer makes a move that is
not common.

What I would like to be able to do is sit down and have the computer
play an opening. If the computer makes a move I am not used to, just
be able to give the command "don't make that move, make another one."
This way I can get hints as to what moves are suggested without trying
to memorise the entire list.

Anyone else think this would be a useful option? I would love to see
this come out in Chessmaster 11.

Fritz has an `opening training' feature that lets you restrict to
certain opening lines -- not sure if that would help you.

Alternatively, you can make any move you like and k it as "novelty" in
your Opening Book!
