Scandinavian Defense: Valencian Variation trainer

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: Valencian Variation

The Valencian Variation is 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd8, a line of the Scandinavian Defense in which the queen goes all the way back to its starting square instead of 3...Qa5, the main line. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qd8 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 2 named lines that continue it, such as Scandinavian Defense: Valencian Variation, Main Line, Scandinavian Defense: Valencian Variation, Ilundain Variation.
