Did you know that ChessCube has a great video series where International Master Andrew Martin teaches newcomers to the game, as well as beginner players, how to play the opening successfully?

This part of the game can often overwhelm players and the goal of this series is to provide a better understanding of the opening so that you can play with confidence in your own games.

Recently added openings include: the Philidor Defence, Four Knights Opening, Three Knights Opening, Vienna Game, Bishop’s Opening, Danish Gambit and Centre Game.
