Practise the Scandinavian Defense: Mieses-Kotroc Variation

The Mieses-Kotroc Variation (1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5) is the classical form of the Scandinavian Defense: Black takes back the pawn with the queen at once. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 17 named lines that continue it, such as Scandinavian Defense: Main Line, Scandinavian Defense: Valencian Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Gubinsky-Melts Defense, Scandinavian Defense: Main Line, Mieses Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Main Line, Leonhardt Gambit, Scandinavian Defense: Valencian Variation, Main Line, Scandinavian Defense: Valencian Variation, Ilundain Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Bronstein Variation.
