What's the difference between Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced depths?⌄ Beginner depth — the essential main lines, only a few moves deep. The fastest way to get a playable repertoire.
Intermediate depth — more variations and greater depth, covering the replies you'll meet most often.
Advanced depth — the full tree: every notable branch, played out deeply for serious preparation.

A wild surprise weapon against the Caro-Kann. After 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6 5.Ng5 h6, White unleashes the shocking 6.Nxf7!?, sacrificing a knight to strip the black king bare. Objectively unsound, best defence leaves Black up material, but a vicious practical try in blitz and bullet, packed with forced-mate traps if Black gets greedy.

The Traxler Counterattack
Chess's purest 'attack-and-be-attacked' adventure, for Black. After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5, instead of defending f7 Black plays 4...Bc5!? and answers the threat to his king with an even faster attack on White's. The 6.Kxf2 line walks into a famous forced mate; the critical 6.Kf1 leads to dynamic equality with raging compensation. A fearless tactical weapon.

How to Crush the Stafford Gambit
A complete White antidote to the tricky Stafford Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nc6 4.Nxc6 dxc6). The recipe is simple: take the pawn, play the prophylactic d3, develop calmly, and sidestep every trap, leaving White a clean pawn up. Covers Black's main attacking tries.
