Positional Trainer

Learn the quiet moves, from positions in your own games.

Which pawn is the target?

d6 is backward. No black pawn can defend it, and your e4 pawn guards the square in front of it.

Where does your knight belong?

On d5. No black pawn can ever attack that square.

Which pawn move opens the game?

f4 strikes at e5 and can open the f-file for your rook.

What does your opponent want?

…b5 and then …b4, to chase away the knight that guards d5.

Every position comes from a game you played.
