Learn the lines of the guide

Eight guide-backed lines, one move at a time: five you play as Black and three as White. Notes appear only when the position changes its demand, so the board stays in charge of the lesson.

Drill the 17 decisions that matter

This is the core of the trainer. Work from the board across six themes: book moves, plans, traps, punishments, structure, and endgame echoes. Each attempt is checked on the current board, and hints narrow the position before the answer is shown.

Keyboard: Enter next drill · H hint · R reset the position.

Play the bot and apply it

Now play it out as Black. Pick a variation, set the bot strength, and start from a position where the gambit's pawn, queenside pressure, or tactical threat already matters.

Englund Gambit variations

Six guide-backed starting positions, each with opposed goals tied to one concrete asset on the board.
