How PawnPilot teaches the Catalan Opening
- See if you already play it. Import your games and the coach shows how often you reach this opening — and where you drift out of book.
- Learn the ideas, not just moves. Guided tours walk the main line with the plans behind each move.
- Drill it until it sticks. Spaced-repetition drills on each variation, scheduled exactly when you're about to forget.
- Punish the usual mistakes. Trap training covers the tricks club players actually fall for in this line.
