Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. d4 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 2 named lines that continue it, such as Ruy Lopez: Closed, Bogoljubow Variation, Ruy Lopez: Closed, Yates Variation, Short Attack.
