Bird Opening 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 Bird Opening

Bird's Opening (1.f4) is an offbeat but respectable first move. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. f4 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 26 named lines that continue it, such as Bird Opening: Dutch Variation, Bird Opening: From's Gambit, Bird Opening: Williams Gambit, Bird Opening: From's Gambit, Lasker Variation, Bird Opening: Lasker Variation, Bird Opening: Schlechter Gambit, Bird Opening: Sturm Gambit, Bird Opening: Double Duck Formation.
