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 Semi-Slav Defense: Botvinnik Variation

The Botvinnik Variation of the Semi-Slav Defense is 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6 5.Bg5 dxc4 6.e4. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 e6 5. Bg5 dxc4 6. e4 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 3 named lines that continue it, such as Semi-Slav Defense: Botvinnik Variation, Lilienthal Variation, Semi-Slav Defense: Botvinnik Variation, Ekstrom Variation.
