Where the moves come from: every line and position in this trainer comes from our Van Geet Opening guide. The guide's five test positions are answered by Bxf7+ (+5.17), f5 (-0.21), Qd2 (-0.55), d5 (+0.08), and Nd4 (-0.04).
The 16 boards rehearse 1.Nc3 follow-ups, the ...d4 space clamp, Closed Sicilian development, Blackmar-Diemer compensation, the Four Knights ...d5 break, Vienna pawn play, the Bxf7+ deflection, and the protected ...Nd4 jump. Every wrong option is legal and names the immediate reply.
