Practise the Bird Opening: Dutch Variation

The Dutch Variation of the Bird Opening (1.f4 d5) is Black's most common reply to 1.f4. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. f4 d5 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 7 named lines that continue it, such as Bird Opening: Williams Gambit, Bird Opening: Lasker Variation, Bird Opening: Sturm Gambit, Bird Opening: Dutch Variation, Dudweiler Gambit, Bird Opening: Williams-Zilbermints Gambit, Bird Opening: Thomas Gambit.
