🧭 From the opening to the middlegame

You already know the pieces, their values, the basic mates, the tactics and the opening principles. In this last lesson we bring them together in a model game: the Italian with the central advance c3 and d4.

The idea is simple and powerful: develop everything, prepare the d4 break to seize the center, castle, and reach the middlegame with more space and your pieces aiming at the enemy king. Notice how each move fulfills a principle you already know.

When you finish this, you're ready to play for real. Head down to the roster, pick a calm bot and apply everything you've learned.
