Practise the Sicilian Defense: Nimzowitsch Variation

The Nimzowitsch Variation, also called the Nimzowitsch-Rubinstein Variation, is 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6, a less common second move in the Sicilian Defense. Play Black's moves of the line from memory — 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 — and the trainer plays White's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 5 named lines that continue it, such as Sicilian Defense: Nimzowitsch Variation, Closed Variation, Sicilian Defense: Nimzowitsch Variation, Advance Variation, Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation, Opocensky Variation, Sicilian Defense: Nimzowitsch Variation, Exchange Variation, Sicilian Defense: Nimzowitsch Variation, Main Line.
