Try this NEW way of
Learning Chess Openings

Do you find learning chess openings tedious and boring? And where can you practice them other than playing chess games?

MyChessLines.com unveils a fast and fun way to learn chess openings by allowing you to practice move-by-move your chosen opening lines, and the moment you make a mistake, you will be corrected immediately. Let's go for a test drive to show you how this works.

Do you know the classical version of the Ruy Lopez?

Try it now on the chess board below. Here are the directions:

  • Make a move by dragging and dropping a piece. When you move, if black responds with a move, your move was correct and it is your move again.
  • If your move gets returned, then the move was wrong and you try again.
  • If you get stuck, click on the hint button and a white piece will start blinking which is the piece you should move.

Let's begin. You are white. It's your move. Try and play the classical version of the Ruy Lopez without making a mistake.
