Practise the Sicilian Defense: French Variation

The French Variation of the Sicilian Defense is 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 60 named lines that continue it, such as Sicilian Defense: French Variation, Open, Sicilian Defense: Taimanov Variation, Sicilian Defense: Kan Variation, Sicilian Defense: Delayed Alapin Variation, with e6, Sicilian Defense: Kan Variation, Knight Variation, Sicilian Defense: Four Knights Variation, Sicilian Defense: French Variation, Normal, Sicilian Defense: Scheveningen Variation.
