Modern 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 Modern Defense

The Modern Defense (1.e4 g6) is a flexible hypermodern reply to 1.e4. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 g6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 44 named lines that continue it, such as Modern Defense: Standard Line, Modern Defense: Standard Defense, Modern Defense: Two Knights Variation, Modern Defense: Three Pawns Attack, Modern Defense: Geller's System, Modern Defense: Mongredien Defense, with Nf3, Modern Defense: Pseudo-Austrian Attack, Modern Defense: Bishop Attack.

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