Practice the Alekhine Defense against the Exchange, Four Pawns, Modern, and Chase variations. Use our Alekhine Defense guide alongside 8 guided lines, 16 exercises, and six starting positions for games against the bot.
Eight lines, one at a time: four you play as White, four as Black. Step through every move and see the counterplay take shape on the board.
Keyboard: ← → step through the moves. Click any move chip to jump.
Where the moves come from: every line and position in this trainer comes from our Alekhine Defense guide. The trainer keeps the focus on Black's central breaks, active piece squares, and the pawn targets White has advanced.
Use the drills to recognize the board before choosing a move. You will work through book moves, plans, traps, punishments, structure, and endgame echoes, with feedback tied to the position in front of you.
Keyboard: Enter next drill · H hint · R reset the position.
Now play Black. Pick one of the six variations, set the bot's strength, and test whether you can make White's space turn into targets. The coach card speaks when a guide position appears.
Six Alekhine positions from the guide, each with a concrete goal for both sides. Pick one to restart from that structure.
Four directions, each with a reason. Everything below links to a page that exists today.
