The Modern Variation is 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5, the traditional line of the Queen's Gambit Declined. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 27 named lines that continue it, such as Queen's Gambit Declined, Queen's Gambit Declined: Modern Variation, Knight Defense, Queen's Gambit Declined: Modern Variation, Heral Variation, Queen's Gambit Declined: Been-Koomen Variation, Queen's Gambit Declined: Orthodox Defense, Bd3 Line, Queen's Gambit Declined: Cambridge Springs Defense, Capablanca Variation, Queen's Gambit Declined: Pseudo-Tarrasch Variation, Queen's Gambit Declined: Alekhine Variation.
