Practise the Ponziani Opening: Jaenisch Counterattack

The Jaenisch Counterattack is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3 Nf6, one of Black's two usual replies to the Ponziani Opening; the other is 3...d5. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. c3 Nf6 — 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 Ponziani Opening: Neumann Gambit, Ponziani Opening: Vukovic Gambit.
