The 17 boards cover the d4 fork, f4 chase, both intermediate queen checks, active retreat, declined-sacrifice structure, e4 defense, both exposed-king tests, Black's queen-attacking knight jump, ...d5 block, ...Qe7 defense, ...Qxe4+ counterattack, acceptance on f7, ...Ke6 king walk, manual retreat, and ...d6 tempo.

Choose one of six starting positions and set the opponent from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on ten key moments, including the sacrifice, declined branch, castled fork, knight block, dangerous king moves, g6 rook bait, and the moment Black's queen takes over the attack.
The six starts contain the main seven-move Jerome position, all three book lines for 5.O-O, 5.Nxe5+, and 4...Kf8, plus positions after 6...Kf6 and 7...Qe7. Each target names a specific piece, pawn, square, or move deadline for both colors.
