Drill the 17 decisions that matter

The 17 boards test the c4 break, two Accepted-Gambit tactics, the ...h5 structure, the e5-d5 pawn wedge, the opened h-file, the ...Nd7-c5 route, and a queen trade from the author's game. Every exercise uses legal named alternatives from its exact board.

Play the bot and apply it

Choose one of six starting positions and set the bot from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on eleven key moments, including the starting position, both queen tactics, the Declined ...h5 break, the h-file attack, the ...e5 space grab, and the queen trade from the guide's model game.

Grob Opening variations

The six starts contain the main 1.g4 d5 2.Bg2 position, four book lines for the Accepted, Declined, 1...e5, and 2.h3 branches, plus the Qb3 fork. Each goal pair measures opposite outcomes on the same pieces or pawns.
