Practise the Bishop's Opening

The Bishop's Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4) is one of the oldest openings in chess. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 37 named lines that continue it, such as Bishop's Opening: Berlin Defense, Bishop's Opening: Boi Variation, Bishop's Opening: Vienna Hybrid, Bishop's Opening: Ponziani Gambit, Bishop's Opening: Philidor Counterattack, Bishop's Opening: Paulsen Defense, Bishop's Opening: Urusov Gambit, Bishop's Opening: Calabrese Countergambit.
