Select one of six starting positions and set the opponent from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on ten key moments, including the starting setup, the central breaks, the Mar del Plata race, Petrosian regrouping, Fianchetto development, the Saemisch king route, queen-trade play, and the 6.Bd3 tactic.
The six starts include the main eight-move position, book lines for the Classical, Petrosian, and Saemisch branches, plus positions for the ...f5 break and 6.Bd3 trap. Each mirrored goal names an original piece, pawn, square, or move deadline.
