SureBay, you didn’t answer my question at all, but thanks for trying anyway.
Hi Everyone,
I am new to Chess.com and I'm looking for some recommendations on how you all used the Openings section, and especially the Explorer tool, to study openings. I am primarily interested in building a White repertoire around 1.e4 and a Black repertoire around 1.e4 c5 and 1.d4 Nf6. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to the opening explorer, the default database of games is Chess.com's library of GM games which is great to develop repertoire! For example, you were wanting to see that Morra-Gambit line with Nf6 (After 1. e4 c5 2. d4, I recommended you definitely take on d4 or else you'll get an inferior version of the Alekhine's Defense); you can click "view all games from this position" and you can study the games that occurred with that position.
I personally like to view Komodo's or Stockfish's games when I need to prepare a line with very deep and concrete lines like the Bg5 Najdorf. You can do this by clicking on "other players" to change the library of games. This feature is also great for preparing against an opponent who you know plays on Chess.com.
Hope that helps!
