Three classic openings explained move by move
The Italian Game, the Ruy Lopez, and the Queen's Gambit join the article catalog, each with an interactive board to follow every move.
The article catalog now covers three of the most played openings in the world: the Italian Game, often the very first opening players learn, the Ruy Lopez, the most studied opening in chess history, and the Queen's Gambit, one of the most reliable weapons in the 1.d4 repertoire.
Each article follows the same approach: an interactive board that plays out the first moves one by one, explaining the idea behind each move rather than just listing moves to memorize.
This rounds out the single opening article that existed until now, on the Sicilian Defense, giving beginners a real starting point for choosing their first repertoire.
