How to interact with the game
Click or tap the piece and destination; choose the opening in its selector. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Put the rules into context
The Italian line develops the bishop to c4 after the initial pawn and knight moves. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
A useful caution
Another sound move may still be outside the selected training line. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
