Opening-Specific Training
Stop Practising Random Positions. Train The Ones Your Openings Create.
Your opening gets you a good position. Winning it takes tactics from the positions that opening produces.
-
The Random Puzzle Way
Great for general tactics, wrong positions
Random puzzles from random games. You get quicker, but your own openings keep producing positions you’ve never trained.
- Unrelated positions
- Nothing repeats
- No link to your repertoire
- Hard to apply in real games
-
The Opening-Specific Way
Your repertoire, your positions
Every puzzle comes from a position your openings create. You see the same attacking ideas, traps and mistakes until you spot them instantly in your own games.
- Positions you’ll actually reach
- Recurring tactical themes
- Reinforces your repertoire
- Immediate practical application
- Beyond The Book
What Happens After Your Opening Knowledge Runs Out?
Cheat sheets and theory take you through the opening. Then your opponent plays a novelty, the board is new, and you’re on your own. This is how you get ready for that moment: by training the positions your openings lead to, until good moves feel familiar.
- Scale

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the puzzles organised?
By opening. There are 1.5 million+ puzzles as PGNs, and the 79 most popular openings are also available as PDF sets of 1,000 puzzles each.
Are these random puzzles?
No. Every puzzle comes from positions your openings lead to, so your training is directly relevant to your repertoire.
What’s the difference between the PGNs and the PDFs?
The PGNs are the full 1.5 million+ library, for use in chess software. The PDFs are 79,000 puzzles across 79 openings with title cards and move-by-move screenshots, so you can train on paper or any device.
Are solutions included?
Yes. The PDF sets come with solutions and breakdowns.
Can I use the PGNs with Chess.com or Lichess?
Yes. Import them into any software that supports PGN.
What rating are these suitable for?
Beginners through strong club players. If you want sharper tactics inside your openings, they fit.

How should I study them?
Pick an opening, work through one set at a time, review your mistakes before moving on, and revisit difficult themes regularly.
