Practise the Four Knights Game: Halloween Gambit

The Halloween Gambit is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5: in the normally quiet Four Knights Game White gives up a whole knight for a single pawn. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 2 named lines that continue it, such as Four Knights Game: Halloween Gambit, Plasma Variation, Four Knights Game: Halloween Gambit, Oldtimer Variation.
