The Elephant Gambit lets you choose the messy version of 1.e4 e5. As Black, you give White a pawn at once, then have to justify it with tempi, open lines, and precise tactical threats. This trainer makes that tradeoff concrete before the bot gets a vote.
Nine lines, one move at a time: four you play as Black, five as White. Each note stays tied to the board, so you see which pawn, piece, or square changes the job before the next move.

Where this comes from: every line, note, drill, and coach trigger is grounded in our Elephant Gambit guide and its recorded board positions. The trainer keeps the guide's sharp ideas on the board instead of asking you to memorize them in isolation.
Train from the board, not from a list of moves. The drills cover book decisions, plans, traps, punishments, structure, and endgame echoes. A wrong move is marked briefly, and the two-stage hint flow first gives a board cue before highlighting the piece.
Keyboard: Enter next drill · H hint · R reset the position.
Now take Black. Pick a starting position, set the bot's strength, and play out the compensation for the pawn. The coach card watches for the gambit's recurring traps and central decisions. When the game ends, run the review.
Six Elephant Gambit starts, each with a concrete target for both colors. Picking one restarts the board at that exact position.
