Play

To run and play one round:

chessdrill

To play any number of drills in a row, use the -n option. For example:

chessdrill -n 10

If no training file is specified during the call, a standard built in drill plan will be used.

Custom drill training plans

In addition, the user has the option to use their own custom training plan. To play and execute a custom drill plan saved as a json file use the -f option to point to the path of the training file:

chessdrill -n 20 -f my/training/file.json

The layout of the drill plan is a representation of the decision tree. As an example:

{
  "name": "my drill plan",
  "play": {
    "white": {
      "c4": {
        "e5": {
          "e4": {
            "Nf6": {
              "Nc3": {}
            },
            "c5": {
              "d3": {}
            }
          }
        },
        "e6": {
          "Nc3": {}
          }
        },
        "Nf6": {
          "Nc3": {}
          }
        },
        "b6": {
          "d4": {}
        }
      }
    },
    "black": {
      "e4": {
        "c6": {}
      },
      "d4": {
        "d5": {
          "Bf4": {
            "e6": {
              "Nf3": {
                "Nf6": {}
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The subsections for the respective game color represent the decision branches according to which the user should respond while playing either of the sides. The decision trees can be arbitrarily deep and leaves should terminate with empty brackets {}
