Yes, both are Windoze only, bad. It seems that there exists no open source project. So this is another open field. Probably Jessy will support chess training, and probably not. The problem with "overloading" is that every task needs a dedicated user-guidance, and often an application will become confusing for the users if it is providing too many features with different requirements for the user-guidance. Furthermore a database for chess position training has also different requirements than the database format of Scidb is providing. Scidb's database format is highly optimized, so in general it cannot be extended for other tasks. Good news: due to the work of Antoni Bouchert a future version of Scidb will also read and extract the ChessBase archives .cbv. Momently not all archives can be processed successfully, but a large percentage of archives.
