Where the moves come from: every line and position in this trainer comes from our Benko Gambit guide. The guide's five test positions are answered by ...Rfb8 (-0.65), ...d6 (-0.73), ...Qxb6 (-0.48), the forced ...d6 (+2.74), and ...Bb7 (+0.66).
The 16 boards cover the bishop exchange on f1, the half-open files, declined space, the returned b-pawn, two queen checks, the Dlugy knight route, and the Nd6 mate pattern. Each Learn route appears twice.

Choose one of six Benko positions and set the opponent from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on eight key moments, including the critical exchange, file battery, clamp, pawn return, declined center, and mating threat.
Play the main eight-move position, four book lines for the King Walk, fianchetto, 4.Nf3 decline, and 5.b6 pawn return, plus a position where Black must stop Nd6 mate.
