Learn the lines of the guide

Study four White attacking routes and four Black responses. The lines separate the single and double gambits, two king-deflection sequences, the forcing ...Bb4+ defense, and the three main declines.

Where the moves come from: every line and position in this trainer comes from our Danish Gambit guide. The guide's five test positions are answered by Bxf7+ (+4.78), e5 (+1.21), e5 (+1.13), Bxd5 (-0.21), and e5 (-1.52).

Drill the 17 decisions that matter

The 17 boards test the second pawn offer, fast Nxc3 development, the e5 tempo, the two-bishop battery, three ways to decline, and every test position from the guide. Each alternative is legal and names the opponent's immediate response, so the explanation stays tied to the position rather than a slogan.

Play the bot and apply it

Choose any of six starting positions and set the bot from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on ten key moments, including the initial offer, single and double acceptance, both bishop diagonals, the central declines, the king deflection, the forcing bishop check, and the exposed-king mating warning.

Danish Gambit variations

The six starts include 3.c3 itself, book lines for ...dxc3, ...d5, ...Qe7, and ...d3, plus the Bxf7+ set piece after the d-file clears. White and Black always receive opposite, observable board targets.
