Practice the Van't Kruijs Opening with the Amsterdam Attack, exchange structures, and fianchetto setups. Use our Van't Kruijs Opening guide alongside 8 guided lines, 16 exercises, and six starting positions for games against the bot.
Study eight direct lines: the symmetrical 1...e5 center, the Amsterdam Attack, two 1...d5 structures, the 1...Nf6 fianchetto, the 1...g6 broad center, and Black's classical and ambitious counters. Each line names the structural decision that makes the move order useful.

Based on the full guide: every move and board comes from the Van't Kruijs Opening guide, its four playable branches, and its complete position set. The guide's five test positions are answered by Bb5+ (+4.62), ...e4 (+0.44), ...Bb4 (-0.05), ...e5 (+0.40), and ...e5 (+0.12).
The 16 boards train the d4 challenge, Amsterdam development, Caro-Kann exchange structure, overextended center, queenside fianchetto, King's Indian-style break, Black's classical setup, and the forcing Bb5+ queen trap. Every wrong move receives an immediate legal reply.

Choose one of six starting positions and set the opponent from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on twelve key moments, including the central choice, h3 prophylaxis, Amsterdam pin, c3 support, queen trap, c4 and e5 breaks, fianchetto recapture, and both Black counterplans.
The six starts contain the main 1.e3 position, book lines for 1...e5, 1...d5, 1...Nf6, and 1...g6, plus the queen-trap position after ...Bxd1. Every paired goal uses the same original identities and deadline.
