Practise the Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense

The Baltic Defense is 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Bf5, an unusual way to decline the Queen's Gambit. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Bf5 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 4 named lines that continue it, such as Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Pseudo-Chigorin, Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Queen Attack, Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Queen Attack Deferred, Queen's Gambit Declined: Baltic Defense, Argentinian Gambit.
