Practise the Benoni Defense: Modern Variation

The Modern Benoni (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6) is one of Black's sharpest and most active defences to 1.d4. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 e6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 17 named lines that continue it, such as Benoni Defense: King's Pawn Line, Benoni Defense: Pawn Storm Variation, Benoni Defense: Classical Variation, Main Line, Benoni Defense: Taimanov Variation, Benoni Defense: Classical Variation, Benoni Defense: Four Pawns Attack, Benoni Defense: Modern Variation, Snake Variation, Benoni Defense: Four Pawns Attack, Main Line.
