It would be nice to do something with the comments that can be added in the repertoire during training. Possible uses:
– At the end of the variation (to add some key ideas how to proceed after the opening)
– When you don’t know what to play or made an error so you have additional comments about a position, why the move was an error and helping you to select the correct move.The comment could be presented with the three dot cloud icon on the screen during training and the user can decide to click on it or not. (clicking would open the comment in a dialog box)
As a big extra, clicking the comment would show arrows on the board that are included with the comment (I believe there is a more or less standard PGN format for that?)
(I’m adding a few requests in separate posts so the comments can stay together, I hope this is ok?)
Separate topics is perfect, as you’re doing. š
Can you explain a little further what you’d like to see here? Do you mean a built-in engine that explains/shows arrows as to tactical errors?
The way I use it is to add questionable moves and give them annotations (?, ??, ?!), and just not make them “key” moves. Sometimes I add short text, like, “leaves d5 weak.”

I think it is more simple than that:
When browsing the repertoire there is a white cloud that appears over the 3 option dots when a comment is available for a certain position.
This request is just to have that same functionality during training and show the user that a comment is available for this move, with the option to show the comment when tapped on the icon. This could serve as a hint when you’ve forgot the answer.
At the end of a variation I prefer to add some comments about the general ideas how to proceed with the play. E.g. plan is to develop the queen to squares x or y and attack on the king side. Therefore at the end of a variation it could be nice to show these comments by default.
In a lot of chess programs there is the ability to draw arrows and key squares in green/red/blue to support such an analysis, e.g. see this link
These arrows, and key squares are exported in the PGN format, e.g. [%cal Ra1a8]. It would be nice to visualize these on the board together with the comments. This is probably a lot of effort to implement, it could be limited to showing the arrows and squares only for imported PGN’s to avoid having to deal with the drawing in the interface?
But just having access to the comment and see the icon from the training interface, without the arrows would already be very helpful.
I hope I made it more clear?
