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

    1.5 Million Puzzles Means Your Opening Is Covered

    There are far too many puzzles to list. Whatever you play, from the most popular openings to rare gambits, there’s training waiting. The most popular 79 openings come as PDF sets of 1,000 puzzles each, ready to print or use on any device. Every other opening is in the PGN library.

Chess Opening Puzzles - FAQs

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.

What if I only play one opening?

Then you could use the single opening puzzle pack. If you play several openings, or want to explore new ones, the Vault covers them all.

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.

Do I need to buy anything else?

No. Everything you need is included.

How do I get my files after purchase?

You’ll get instant access to the download on the order confirmation screen. You’ll also get an email with your order details and a link you can use to download again at any time.

Can I use this on mobile, tablet or paper?

Yes. The PDFs work on any device or printed, and the PGNs work in any chess software.

Do you offer refunds?

Since these are digital downloads, we don’t typically offer refunds, because you could download the file, ask for a refund and still keep the file. But if you have any issues or want help, contact us and we’ll make it right. You can email James personally at info@chesscheatsheets.com.

What payment methods do you accept?

Credit/debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay / Google Pay for a quick, secure checkout.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes. Check out our bundle deals to save when buying multiple products. They’re our best-value options.

I’m having trouble with my download. What should I do?

Email James at info@chesscheatsheets.com and he’ll help you get things working.
