The Sämisch Variation is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.a3, named after Fritz Sämisch. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. a3 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 3 named lines that continue it, such as Nimzo-Indian Defense: Sämisch Variation, O'Kelly Variation.
