Back to the opening, all openings to practise or my repertoire

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 Italian Game: Evans Gambit, McDonnell Defense

The McDonnell Defense is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Bc5, the retreat of the bishop to its original square in the accepted Evans Gambit. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. b4 Bxb4 5. c3 Bc5 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.
