Hi all,

Ha, this is a product, which I have been working on for a while. Now I would like to know how helpful you find it :-). I am grateful for any minute you spend checking this out and for anything that you may comment.

This is the thing: https://www.chessmaps.de/

(used to be named-openings-galore.com)

It is about named opening variations. Which I find super helpful as landmarks in a complex game, but also as a fun topic to chat about while playing.

However, it takes time to learn variations one by one and I find it hard to remember a lot of them. There are so many, and when I learn new ones, from a book or a video, my memory about others blurs. And I know I‘m not the only one ;-)

So, I thought of making something, that would present this knowledge in a welcoming way and to make it stick better.

The result is a bunch of chess trees with some design effort spent on structure and content details. Structure to let you quickly grasp the main features of an opening system, and details to let you dive into individual variations, compare them, and so on.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you

Raymond

It looks interesting but on a fairly new phone, I can't zoom in enough to make sense of the diagrams.

This looks like a very useful learning tool. I would use it. Keep us posted about how it develops.

Showing typical middlegame plans for each opening would make the learning experience more holistic.
