Chesstempo has it. Chessgames.com has is. Chess.com has the chess mentor. Chessok offer this. Kim Jensen offer small videos for free. I guess many other programs and sites have similar. What is your experience with the different tools?

- ChessTempo GTM is good : it offers engine correction of mistakes and you can export the result as pgn. You can also compare your results to other people. It takes into account opening theory too, so if you play alternate opening moves, you're not penalized

- The ChessMentor on chess.com offers puzzles from game fragments, but not complete games as GTM, as far as I know. The quality of the lessons is uneven, and the rating system is not correctly calibrated

- Chessgames doesn't offer correction of mistakes

- a simple and free tool which works fine is Fred Mellender's GTM : https://sites.google.com/site/fredm/ - you don't need an Internet connection with this one and can choose your UCI engine

Sir how to use that site http://www-lucaschess.rhcloud.com/??? I have clicked on Train but it not working...Can you please guide me


It's a software for local use on your computer. You had to check the menu.. Under "Version 8.07" there is a submenu "Downloads".
Anyway, some direct links for you at https://googledrive.com/host/0B0D6J3YCrUoublFqc0VGZWw3VVU/release/
I recommend you the install version which is https://googledrive.com/host/0B0D6J3YCrUoublFqc0VGZWw3VVU/release/InsLucasChess8...
And the portable version (if you know how to manage with it) is https://googledrive.com/host/0B0D6J3YCrUoublFqc0VGZWw3VVU/release/LucasChessPort...
It's completely free fantastic tool for starters, as well as for advanced players. I found it by chance, installed it for my 9-year old son and he loved it at once. He even changed the desktop icon name from Lucas Chess to Steven Chess (Steven is his name). Then I threw a glance over it and got addicted, too.. The only thing about it I'm not content with is that I don't have enough time to use it.

I think Graeme Buckley - Multiple Choice Chess Volume 1 and 2 books are really good for it...

I assume you're interested in some grading mechanism.  Myself, I tend to just use the 'training' tab in Chessbase while going through games.
