Practise the Scotch Game

The Scotch Game (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4) opens the centre immediately. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 58 named lines that continue it, such as Scotch Game: Scotch Gambit, Scotch Game: Lolli Variation, Scotch Game: Classical Variation, Scotch Game: Schmidt Variation, Scotch Game: Haxo Gambit, Scotch Game: Göring Gambit, Scotch Game: Scotch Gambit, Advance Variation, Scotch Game: Göring Gambit, Double Pawn Sacrifice.
