Pawneer: Chess Openings

Pawneer teaches chess openings the way you learn a game: by playing. No flashcards to revise and no theory to read first: you set off on a world tour where every place is an opening to conquer. A WORLD TOUR OF OPENINGS • 10 openings across 3 regions: the Mediterranean (Italian, Spanish, Sicilian), Western Europe (French, London System, Scotch) and Northern & Eastern Europe (Scandinavian, Caro-Kann, Slav, Queen's Gambit) • Win 5 duels at a place to conquer it • Conquer 2 places in a region to open the next one SHORT DUELS AGAINST THEORY • Your opponent plays the most common replies, weighted by what players choose on Lichess, so you meet the main lines duel after duel • Every good move is named and explained in one sentence • A mistake costs one of your 3 lives: Pawneer shows you the move to play and, for common mistakes, how the opponent punishes it • Other sound moves are recognized: no life lost, you're simply shown the line you're learning • First visit to a place: your first slip is on the house TRAPS TO SET AND TO DODGE • 22 classic traps, checked with a chess engine, show up in your duels • Spring one or fall into it, and it joins your collection • Replay every trap you've found as a challenge REMEMBER WITHOUT REVISING A conquered place fades if you don't come back: one duel brings it back. The interval grows each time, from one day to five weeks, so the openings stick.
