Just got the board, haven’t played chess in 3 decades but wanting to teach my kids(and myself) some specific openings like the London, the karo-kann, etc.
Looking for the best options to train the main lines, etc.
Thanks

Do you have the chessup 1 or 2?
If you have the 2, you can still use the app to start a game against the AI and have it follows specific openings. Even tho the boaed doesnr require the app, in this case it does.
It’s in the advanced settings.
