A website to practice openings?

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before but I was wondering if there is a site where one can set up the board so it is 6/7 moves into a certain opening and then play against a computer from that position. (Or is this possible to do on chess.com?)

Thanks in advance!

It's possible on chess.com if you are premium.

Thanks, I'll look into all the suggestions - was thinking of getting premium. @brettjames11 a good way to get comfortable with a certain opening is to play it many times against a computer as sometimes you can't always expect your opponent to go into a variation you want to look into.

Select an opening that you want to study, and go to chessgames.com and do a search on that opening.  Find the "best players" for that opening and spend time going thru about 10-15 moves of a bunch of their games.  

Then you practice by going to a random place (moves 5 to 10) in a particular game opening and guess the correct move.

Then go to chess-db.com and play Magnus or other GM' on the chess engine for the first 15 moves and see how you do in a  "real" game.
