well if you have one you might want to give it a try. if you dont have one, when you purchase your next puzzle ask chris to throw one in. at about $5 each(and no additional shipping), i think chris has made these little tools quite reasonably priced.
Thanks again chris!

Re: Opening Positions
is the trainer the little white cap you wedge over one of the ends?
I do have one that I've never tried... Not sure how it would make much difference...

Re: Opening Positions
thats it my friend. i agree, to begin with, i didnt really see what difference it would make, but i figured why not try it, then i saw the difference. like i said, sometimes it helps, sometimes it hinders.

Re: Opening Positions
So does the trainer actually fit on your black? Neither of my trainers (I have 2) fit on my black... and by quite a long way.
I had assumed because the black was a special that chris had designed them so that we couldn't use the trainers![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Re: Opening Positions
I didn't try it on my black yet, as the bronze is still taking higher priority...
But the trainer did fit fine on the bronze, and I'm still getting used to it...
I can see it making things easier being able to navigate some sections, but trickier on others...

Re: Opening Positions
it fits, requires a bit more effort to get on though. if you are smart about your method, no harm should come to your puzzle. i say this because i can see plenty of ways people could damage their puzzles if they just use brute force and not any thought.

Re: Opening Positions
My trainer did fit on the black, but required some extra effort to get it on there. Later I used it also on the bronze, where it became slippery after a while, probably because the black had 'etched' or 'marked' it a bit. A single layer of sticky tape inside the trainer soled that problem.

Re: Opening Positions
i too had issues with the trainer fitting on the bronze afterwards as it was to big to stay on the shaft, but i also solved the issue by using a small piece of medical tape to fill the difference.
