Van't Kruijs Opening trainer

Back to the opening, all openings to practise or my repertoire

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 Van't Kruijs Opening

The Van't Kruijs Opening (1.e3) is a modest first move that releases the king's bishop and supports a later d4. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. e3 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 5 named lines that continue it, such as Amsterdam Attack, Van't Kruijs Opening: Keoni-Hiva Gambit, Ekolu Variation, Van't Kruijs Opening: Keoni-Hiva Gambit, Akahi Variation, Van't Kruijs Opening: Keoni-Hiva Gambit, Alua Variation, Van't Kruijs Opening: Bouncing Bishop Variation.
