I am learning some new openings and I would like to train the same opening over and over again vs computer so I can become familiar with the main positions and ideas. I haven't seriously studied chess in nearly 15 years and the technology has changed tremendously since I played so I'm not familiar with the current products out there.
Basically, I want a computer that I can set up a position (e.g. give it the white side of exchange French) and set the computer's USCF rating equivalent (e.g. 1700) and just play 100 games in a row. What are my options?
Thank you!
Not directly answering your question but i hope this is of some use. Computers don't play like humans so it isn't useful to practice against them - a 1700 computer will play GM standard positional chess at one point, and outright blunders at another. Leela Chess Zero is supposed to be better but I haven't tried it. Instead, I recommend looking through GM games and playing lots of classical games against other humans.
EDIT: come to think of it the computer is more likely to play GM level tactical combinations and play nonsensical anti-positional moves
