Alekhine Defense trainer

Type a move and press Enter: e4, Nf3, O-O, or from and to squares like g1f3 (e7e8q to promote). The board is also played with the mouse.

Practise the Alekhine Defense

Alekhine's Defense (1.e4 Nf6) is a provocative hypermodern reply to 1.e4. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 Nf6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 55 named lines that continue it, such as Alekhine Defense: Normal Variation, Alekhine Defense: Two Pawns Attack, Alekhine Defense: Scandinavian Variation, Alekhine Defense: Exchange Variation, Alekhine Defense: Maróczy Variation, Alekhine Defense: Four Pawns Attack, Alekhine Defense: Modern Variation, Alekhine Defense: Scandinavian Variation, Geschev Gambit.
