Practice the Nimzowitsch Defense in Scandinavian, Bogoljubov, and Kennedy lines. Work through 8 lines from our Nimzowitsch Defense guide, then try 16 exercises and play six positions against the bot.
Study eight direct lines covering the 2.Nf3 Declined, Scandinavian Exchange, Scandinavian Advance, Bogoljubov pawn offer, and Kennedy knight reroute. Four lines teach White's space and development; four teach Black's counterplay.

Where the moves come from: every line and position in this trainer comes from our Nimzowitsch Defense guide. The guide's five test positions are evaluated at -0.54, +0.40, +0.75, +0.18, and +4.75.
The 16 boards train the early center, the ...Bg4 pin, long castling, the d4 pawn grab, the ...Nc2+ release, the active Advance bishop, the Bogoljubov queen fork, and the Nce7-g6 maneuver. Every named miss is legal on its exact board.

Choose one of six starting positions and set the opponent from 600 to 3000. The coach comments on twelve key moments, including the central choice, Declined retreat, Scandinavian pin and fork, Advance setup, Bogoljubov retreat, and Kennedy pawn stop.
The six starts contain the main Nimzowitsch position, book lines for the Declined, Scandinavian Exchange, Scandinavian Advance, and Kennedy variations, plus a Bogoljubov recovery position. Every paired goal uses the same original identities and deadline.
