Lion Defense trainer

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 Lion Defense

Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 Nbd7 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 5 named lines that continue it, such as Lion Defense: Anti-Philidor, Lion Defense: Anti-Philidor, Lion's Cave, Lion Defense: Bayonet Attack, Philidor Defense: Lion Variation, Delayed Bishop Sacrifice, Lion Defense: Anti-Philidor, Lion's Cave, Lion Claw Gambit.

Read about the line, its statistics on Lichess and Stockfish's evaluation on the Lion Defense page, or pick another opening in the opening trainer.
