Play the bot and apply it

Choose one of six starting positions and set the opponent from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on ten key moments, including the starting position, both central breaks, the Qe2 pin, the bishop chase, the fianchetto, and the loose knight on g4.

Bowdler Attack variations

The playable set contains the main 2.Bc4 position, book lines for Black's ...e6, ...Nc6, and ...d6 replies, plus set pieces for the bishop-pair decision and the f4 center fork. The source book contains exactly those three reply branches.
