A useful example
The Italian line develops the bishop to c4 after the initial pawn and knight moves. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Another sound move may still be outside the selected training line. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
