Practise the King's Indian Defense: Sämisch Variation

The Sämisch Variation of the King's Indian Defense (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3) is named after Friedrich Sämisch, who developed the system in the 1920s. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f3 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.
