Quick Update
Well, I went ahead and bought the Personal Chess Trainer for $40.00. I think that it was a good investment, especially with the endgame modules. I'm looking forward to the training!
I lost the teamchess game. Yeah, it was pretty disappointing. I just hope that I didn't hurt the team's chances. I'm glad I was sat out for the next round. I just have a teamchess jinx thus far.
I had two cool games on fics last night. I played three. One was a loss against a 1800 player, but we played another game and I beat him in the opening, the one that I have been studying up, the Italian Gambit. Pretty cool. I'll print it here:

Fun to play the opening I have studied. Comment if you have any thoughts. Thanks.

Hope you will find PCT worth it. And good luck with it. I am progressing a bit slow right now, as i had a case of the playing live jitters, which kept me of my training. I have that sometime's :(
It should be automaticly saving your progress... With me it does. You should be able to stop halfway (or a quarter or whatever) and have your progress saved. Doesn't it do that with you? If you do only one exercise though, say at the beginning of a unit, and you exit, you will have to do it again next time. But if you do a couple you should be able to exit just fine. Let me know if it works.
