We can’t import private Chess.com UI settings, so ChessCoach saves its own preferences locally and uses familiar defaults: green board, coordinates, clear move dots, instant feedback.
White starts with d4, taking the center and setting the shape of the fight.
Pause before grabbing material: king safety, development, and forcing moves decide the tactic.
This is the Chess.com-style flow: clear task, playable board, instant feedback, then the explanation.
