Lines you can train
Each line grows a move at a time: watch a short sequence, play it back, fix what you missed, then recall it from memory. Every line opens on whichever block you are up to.
Giuoco Piano
Strong center achieved — two pawns on d4 and e4, active pieces. Black has a bishop on b4 to resolve. Next: castle kingside and bring the rooks into the game.
Evans Gambit
The Evans Gambit — we've given up a pawn for a massive lead in development. Our pieces are active, Black is struggling to coordinate. White has strong attacking chances on the kingside. This is exactly the kind of position the gambit is designed for.
Two Knights Defense
The Two Knights — we've attacked f7 directly and won a pawn. The position is sharp and complicated, but White is a pawn up with good piece activity. Black is struggling to coordinate. Our bishop on e2 keeps everything safe.
