Is there a way to set up the computer player (on the web site or app) so it plays using only a certain opening style (as white)? Or is there a chess app elsewhere that does something similar? This way I should be able to repetitively put into practice the principles I've been learning. Well, that's the idea anyway.
Good question but hard for me to answer as I'm a beginner. I think I'm just talking about common openings and attacks that would challenge a beginner but would be confidently handled by a more experienced player. Maybe setting the computer level low has this effect?
Of course over time I would learn openings and their "lines" just by playing games, but I feel being able to limit the computer to specific openings provides useful repetition which is a more efficient way for me to learn.
Thats what im talking about. You want a "style" but you dont know how to answer the question. As a beginner you dont want to limit what your opponent will play. The more youre exposed to, the more youll learn.
If u want to play against the computer in a specific opening line you can do it with Lucas Chess. Here's how--1. Click desktop icon. 2. Click Play 3. Click play against an engine of your choice. 4. Click Initial Moves. 5. Find your variation in Game Explorer on this website and copy fen. 6. Click Initial Moves. 7. Click clipboard Icon. 8. Click accept.
If you want to play against a specific style such as a tactical style or positional style you need to find a specific engine that has a reputation for playing in that style. This may take some research.
@Diakonia: Yes, exactly. I need to work on my openings and development. That's why I'd like to use the computer player (rather than waste a real player's time) to practice all the principles... but in a way that is more focused. (Thanks for the game analysis. That's pretty cool)
Yeah well I understand him just fine. If you want to practice e.g. Queen's Gambit Declined, but CPU keeps accepting the gambit, you keep getting into another line. Yes you can edit the board starting position, but it's not the same. People like havelock3 and myself want to try to learn a certain opening variation by practicing the moves. If the CPU plays different moves each time it makes practicing more difficult.
For future people searching this, I think this is the way it's done. Hover on "Learn" on the left dashboard column, then another dropdown menu comes up, select "Openings." You can practice whatever opening they have there. Should be common ones with e4, d4, and "other," but if you're looking for something specific type your opening into the "search" box. Click the opening you want and it will bring up the position. To practice with this position click the computer looking icon (as of 2021 it looks like a laptop, actually).
The only problem that I can't figure out is how to change the difficulty of the computer. It's set on 3200, which is so insanely high. I came in search of this feature and can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Not exactly intuitive to find the settings to change here.

One sneaky way of accomplishing the any opening vs any bot is to set up the first however many moves of the position you want to practice on the setup/analyze board, then chose "play against a computer", then change to the bot you want to practice against. This works twice because you get the specific opening and position you want to practice with, AND you can have the computer telling you what move you could have played as the game goes on.
Interactive practice exams currently are available for the 7 Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) disciplines. Each practice exam contains 50 items and solutions that are representative of the computer-based exam format and content. The practice exam contains item types you may encounter on the exam, including alternative item types, such as fill-in-the-blank and drag-and-drop. The practice exam also provides options for a timed test, immediate solution review, and item specification information. You may access and/or reset your practice exam as many times as you would like for 1 year following your purchase date.
The e-book is a PDF document containing questions and solutions to familiarize yourself with the computer-based exam format and content. Each e-book contains item types you may encounter on the exam, including alternative item types, such as fill-in-the-blank and drag-and-drop. The e-book is downloadable to your device. You have lifetime access to the PDF file.
All too often, the words "computer validation" strike terror into the hearts of those new to the process and may even cause those familiar with it to tremble. Validating Pharmaceutical Systems: Good Computer Practice in Life Science Manufacturing delineates GCP, GLP, and GMP regulatory requirements and provides guidance from seasoned practitioners on how to fulfill them. John Andrews and his team tackle the perceived complexities surrounding the validation of a wide variety of automated systems.
Sprinkled with case studies and real-life examples, the book offers a step-by-step review of topics such as planning, design, auditing, risk management, and specification. The in-depth, by example coverage demystifies the challenges of manufacturing execution systems(MES), laboratory information management systems(LIMS), and network qualification.
The first section examines the different levels of automated systems used throughout the drug development, manufacture, and delivery lifecycle, using the GAMP 4 lifecycle approach to their validation. The second section uncovers some real-life applications of GAMP 4 to different areas of the regulations such as GLP, GCP, GMP, and GDP.
The book explores some of the latest thinking on computer validation and reflects changes that have occurred in the industry since the early days of validation. The contributors are a deliberate blend of those who have faced the problems of the 1990s and the Y2K controversies and those who have more recently arrived on the scene and made an impact on the perception of validation of automated systems across the field of GxP. They do more than show you how to do the right thing; they show you how to do the right thing in compliance with regulations.
This means teachers, students, parents and others will be able to try out the sample items using computer-based tools such as drag-and-drop, multiple select, text highlighting, and an equation builder. PARCC also released online tutorials that demonstrate how students will navigate the test; how to use the computer-based tools; and features that make the test more accessible for all students, including those with disabilities and English learners.
In reading and writing, students will have to show they can read and understand complex passages, write persuasively, and present findings based on research. In math, they will have to show their work and demonstrate they understand a concept, rather than simply memorize a formula; they will have to apply math knowledge to real-world problems.
The PARCC assessment will be field tested in 512 Mississippi schools in 139 school districts, representing about 87,000 students. Hundreds of educators from all of the participating states have been instrumental in developing and reviewing the test items. Students and schools will not be scored on the field tests, which are designed to make sure test items and the technology function correctly, and to work out any glitches that might occur.
