Problem with Opening's trainer.

Hi guys, I was just wondering why every time I get the opening correct I win 10 points. But when I fail even at only one move, I lose 20 points? How am I supposed to complete the 3000 opening rating challenge?
The secret to reaching 3000 rating is to never, ever, ever, fail.

Good luck!
I don't use it any more; if I want to work on openings I'll study one which went wrong for me in a game.
There are so many good features and tools here, but this is one which could definitely be improved. I've taken starting positions from it for which you have to find 4 good moves, after having found 3 and then failed (-17 points; all correct would be a mere +7, and bang goes your motivation ... ); I've entered them into an openings database and discovered that they're hardly ever played; maybe 2 options to continue, but no way 4. So for me it's goodbye opening trainer for a while.

Totally agree with you. I may message thibault lol. Anyways I had to played it until I got to 1700 to have a green arrow. My ego would be destroyed if I had a red downside arrow there. I am planning to somehow buy an anti-stress ball and get it up to the pretty number 2000 and leave it there forever lol.
I'm at 1604 with a red arrow, I was 1700+ and wanted to get a green arrow again, that was the result!

I finally got to 2006 and dont plan to touch that thing again. Lichess should give me a trophy for not throwing my mouse through the window. I wasted around 40 minutes lol.
