About This Product
Every opening, on a cheat sheet you can actually use.
You've studied the opening. Then your opponent plays move four and you can't remember which line you're in. This bundle puts a clear, visual cheat sheet for every opening we cover within reach, so the answer is one glance away instead of one long video away.
You get both of our cheat sheet sets: 150+ Popular Moves cheat sheets built from real games, and 126 Book Moves cheat sheets covering official theory. That is every chess opening cheat sheet we make, from the Sicilian Defense, Italian Game and London System to the Caro-Kann, Queen's Gambit and Ruy Lopez, with the PGN files for every line.
Two sets, two jobs
Popular Moves cheat sheets (150+). These show the moves you will actually face. Each one maps 12 variations of the opening, eight moves deep, taken from the open Lichess database. Start here if you want to stop being surprised in the first ten moves.
Book Moves cheat sheets (126). This is the official theory, with one cheat sheet for each opening that has an ECO code. Each one covers every variation of that opening, as deep as the book line goes. Use these when you want the textbook answer, or the name of the line you just played.
Built for the screen and for paper
- Interactive on screen. Open the PDF on your computer, tablet or phone and work through the lines
- Designed in A4. Print the openings you play and keep them beside the board while you study
- Black-and-white print versions of every Book Moves cheat sheet, so you are not burning through colour ink
- PGN files for every variation in both sets. Load a line into Lichess, Chess.com, ChessBase or any other chess software and play it through
Bonus: a trainer for every opening
You also get our single-opening Variation Trainers, one for each of the 150+ openings. They sell separately at £5 each, so the full set is worth £750+ on its own.
Everything in them now lives inside the Opening Mastery Trainer, so you don't need both. Some players still prefer them when they want to study one opening and nothing else.
More bonuses included
- Notion Opening Tracker. Browse openings by playstyle and skill level, and track your progress
- Opening Flashcards. 150 digital flashcards for quick recall
- Repertoire Tracker. Keep your whole opening system organised in one place
- The Opening Mastery Pack. A 60-page crash course in opening principles
- 1,000 Scandinavian Defense puzzles to turn theory into instinct
- Two eBooks: "Unleash Your Inner Grandmaster" and "Mastering Post-Game Analysis"
How it fits with the Opening Mastery Trainer
The trainer gets the moves into your memory. The cheat sheets are the reference you come back to: the whole opening on the page in front of you, when you are learning a new line, reviewing a game or checking where you went wrong.
Who it's for
Beginners and club players who want their openings laid out clearly, without wading through books or hours of theory. If you learn best by seeing the whole opening at once, this is for you.

Questions
What is the difference between Popular Moves and Book Moves? Popular Moves are what people really play, based on game data from Lichess. Book Moves are the established theory. Start with Popular Moves, then use Book Moves to go deeper.
Can I print them? Yes. Every cheat sheet is laid out in A4, and the Book Moves set includes versions made for black-and-white printing.
What do I do with the PGN files? Open them in any chess software or website that imports PGN. You can then step through each variation on a board.
I already have the Opening Mastery Trainer. Do I need this? They do different jobs. The trainer tests you until you remember the moves. The cheat sheets show you the whole opening at a glance, and you can print them.
Is this everything Chess Cheat Sheets sells? No. This is every opening cheat sheet. The endgame guides, puzzle packs and the Opening Mastery Trainer are separate products.

Interactive, Practical Opening Trainer
Each system includes a locally downloadable interactive chess opening trainer featuring recall drills, move-by-move reconstruction exercises, position recognition flashcards, master games with quizzes, structured daily study plans and detailed progress tracking.

Flashcards, Master Games, and Variation PGNs
Also included are bonus opening flashcards, variation PGNs and master game files that can be imported into your preferred chess reader or analysis software. These resources help reinforce pattern recognition, explore practical middlegame positions and study how stronger players actually use the opening in real games.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be good at chess to use this?
No. These are made for beginners and intermediates, but equally applicable for advanced players. If you’re under 2000 elo, they’re great for you. And if you’re 400-1600… they’re perfect!
How do I get my guide(s) after purchase?
Once you purchase your guide(s), you’ll receive instant access to the download on the order confirmation screen. You’ll also receive an email with information about your order and an additional link to download, which you can use at any time.
Can I use this on mobile/tablet/paper? What format are they?
Yes! All of our cheat sheets have been designed to work on any and every platform – mobile, tablet, desktop, and even paper! Digital versions are interactive and allow you to quickly click through to each section of the guide. All guides are given in a PDF format.
What skill level are these guides for?
Whatever your skill level, there’s a chess cheat sheet for you. We cover openings of all skill levels, from simple systems to advanced variations. While designed for those who are beginner/intermediate elo levels who haven’t studied extensively, you can easily use them for refreshers at higher elo levels.
Do you offer refunds?
Since these are digital downloads, we do not typically offer refunds – because you can download the file, ask for a refund, but you’ll still have access to the file! However, if you have any issues or want assistance, please contact us and we’ll make it right. You can email James personally at info@chesscheatsheets.com.
Do you cover both White and Black openings?
Yes, we have guides for every opening. Some are specialised for White, some for Black, but all guides have image perspectives for both Black and White, so you’re able to use them effectively no matter which side you’re playing!
Will this work for my favourite opening?
Probably – we cover all the major and minor openings. Chances are, if it’s a recognised chess opening, we’ve got a guide for it! If you’re unsure whether it will work for you, take our free quiz and we’ll recommend one.
What payment methods do you accept?
We 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 guides. These are the best value products we have, sometimes getting you a discount of up to 90%!
I’m having trouble with my download – what should I do?
If you’re struggling to open or download the file, there’s no need to worry! Simply email James at info@chesscheatsheets.com and he’ll help you get things working.
Is there a free sample I can try?
Yes! If you’d like to try before you buy, we have a free chess opening quiz that will help you decide an opening then give you a free complementary cheat sheet for that opening. You can find that here:
