Where the moves come from: every line and position in this trainer comes from our Scotch Game guide. The guide's five test positions are answered by Bxf7+ (+1.03), Nb5 (+0.71), Qf3 (+0.01), ...Qe7 (+0.00), and ...Nf6 (+0.19).
The 17 boards span central exchanges, development races, doubled c-pawns, the isolated d5-pawn, queen sorties, king displacement, and the forcing f7 capture. Each of the eight Learn routes owns at least two drills, with legal named alternatives on every board.

Select one of six starting positions and set the opponent from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on eleven key moments, including the shared starting position, all three main fourth-move replies, the Lolli exchange, the Schmidt pawn break, the gambit recovery, and the f7 tactic.
The playable set contains the main seven-move position, book lines for 4...Bc5, 4...Nf6, 4...Qh4, and 4.Bc4, plus the 5...dxc3 test board. Each White objective has an observable Black complement.
