A useful example

The Italian line develops the bishop to c4 after the initial pawn and knight moves. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

Watch out for this

Another sound move may still be outside the selected training line. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
