This lets you quickly skim through the document to find an opening that suits your specific set of needs.Īccompanying the catalog is a Google spreadsheet that lays out all the opening statistics I collected. How often will your opponent let you enter this opening?


The catalog categorizes openings based on their characteristics, including: Hello!
