Chess Openings' easy interface allows you to quickly learn over 1700 openings. Organized by their ECO classifications, each opening starts and plays like a normal chess game. Play as black or white, replay or take back moves - a hint feature shows the best move available from each position and will warn you when playing the wrong piece or moving to an illegal square.
Chess Openings has over 100 opening variations of the Sicilian Defense, including many of the popular Dragon variations. In addition to 70 variations of the English opening, Openings Pro features many variations of Nimzo-Indian, Roy Lopez, Two Knights Defense, Four Knights Game, Scotch Game, French, Pirc, Caro-Kann, and Catalan, plus many more. Over 1800 openings in total!
The openings can be searched by entering any part of the opening name or variation. You can even search starting from any position in the algebraic chess notation of the opening.
After the opening is completed, you can continue play against the CPU, replay the same opening again, or select a different opening. And of course you can always replay moves to explore different alternatives and positions against the CPU.
Chess Openings is an invaluable learning tool that will improve your game.
