Type a move and press Enter: e4, Nf3, O-O, or from and to squares like g1f3 (e7e8q to promote). The board is also played with the mouse.

Practise the Scandinavian Defense: Modern Variation

The Modern Variation of the Scandinavian Defense (1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6) is the other main branch of the Scandinavian. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 19 named lines that continue it, such as Scandinavian Defense: Marshall Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Panov Transfer, Scandinavian Defense: Icelandic-Palme Gambit, Scandinavian Defense: Portuguese Gambit, Scandinavian Defense: Modern Variation, Gipslis Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Portuguese Gambit, Wuss Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Portuguese Gambit, Classical Variation, Scandinavian Defense: Richter Variation.
