Our opening training is multi-faceted: you get to work on an opening repertoire in the openings you choose, but we also want you to understand the fundamentals of the opening. The above questions are cases in point. Furthermore, we will find positions from the early middlegame and middlegame in your opening as we go along in the training program.
