Practise the Four Knights Game

The Four Knights Game (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6) is a classical open game in which both sides develop their knights first. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 40 named lines that continue it, such as Four Knights Game: Spanish Variation, Four Knights Game: Scotch Variation, Four Knights Game: Scotch Variation Accepted, Four Knights Game: Spanish Variation, Classical Variation, Four Knights Game: Spanish Variation, Double Spanish, Four Knights Game: Gunsberg Variation, Four Knights Game: Halloween Gambit, Four Knights Game: Spanish Variation, Rubinstein Variation.
