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

Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. d4 g6 2. c4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 3 named lines that continue it, such as Modern Defense: Averbakh System, Modern Defense: Kotov Variation, Modern Defense: Randspringer Variation.

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.
