Learn & Study Chess Openings Visually – Perfect for Beginners​

MyChessPosters are the only chess opening posters adapted to your specific ELO rating level. Unlike generic posters showing Grand Master theory, our posters analyze millions of real Lichess games to show you exactly which moves are played at YOUR level (0-800, 1000, 1200, 1400, or 1600+ ELO). Each poster includes win rate statistics, Stockfish evaluations, and move popularity data - combining visual learning with data-driven chess improvement.

Absolutely! Our posters are specifically designed for beginners to advanced players (0-1600+ ELO). We offer 5 different ELO-adapted versions of each opening, so beginners (0-800 ELO) see only the fundamental moves played at their level, without being overwhelmed by advanced variations. The visual decision tree format makes learning intuitive - no need to memorize complex notation. Start with our Main Chess Openings Poster (0-800 ELO version) for the perfect introduction.

Each poster version displays only the moves commonly played at a specific rating range (0-800, 1000, 1200, 1400, or 1600-2000 ELO). We analyze millions of Lichess games to filter out moves you will never encounter at your level. For example, the Italian Game poster at 1000 ELO shows the 4.c3 line with 56% win rate - the most effective move at that level - while the 1600+ version includes advanced Giuoco Piano variations. This targeted approach helps you learn 3x faster by focusing only on relevant moves.

Our posters are built from millions of real games in the Lichess database, filtered by ELO rating. Each move displays: (1) Win rate statistics (White %/Draw %/Black %), (2) Stockfish engine evaluation for position assessment, (3) Move popularity shown by arrow thickness, and (4) Variation names for theoretical understanding. This data-driven approach ensures you learn from actual game outcomes, not just abstract theory.

Our posters are available in A2 (42 x 59.4 cm / 16.5 x 23.4 inches) and A1 (59.4 x 84.1 cm / 23.4 x 33.1 inches) sizes. All posters are printed in ultra-high definition 300 DPI on premium 200gsm matte paper, ensuring crisp decision tree lines, readable statistics, and long-lasting colors. The matte finish reduces glare, making it perfect for studying your openings without reflections.

For beginners (0-1200 ELO), we recommend starting with the Main Chess Openings Poster, which covers the 5 most popular first moves (1.e4, 1.d4, 1.c4, 1.Nf3, and their main responses). This gives you a complete overview of opening principles. If you already know which opening you want to master, choose a specific poster: Italian Game (1000 ELO) for White players, Sicilian Defense (1600+ ELO) for aggressive Black play, or Three Knights Opening (1000 ELO) for a solid e4 alternative.

Our posters use carefully designed color schemes optimized for visual learning and clarity (high-contrast arrows, color-coded statistics). For custom requests such as adding your name, chess club logo, custom colors, or bulk orders for schools and clubs, please submit your request through our contact form. We will respond within 24-48 hours with options and pricing for personalized orders.

We currently offer 5 carefully selected opening posters: Main Chess Openings (complete overview), Italian Game, Sicilian Defense, Three Knights Opening, and Benko Gambit. These cover the most popular and effective openings at each level. If you would like to request a specific opening not currently available (French Defense, Caro-Kann, Queen's Gambit, King's Indian Defense, etc.), please submit your request via our contact form. We prioritize new posters based on community demand.

Hang your poster near your playing area for passive visual learning. Before games, trace the decision tree with your finger to internalize move sequences. During online games (Lichess, Chess.com), glance at the poster when your opponent plays a covered line - the visual format lets you instantly find the right response without memorizing notation. Focus on understanding WHY each move works (check win rates and Stockfish evaluations) rather than just memorizing moves. Many players report 100-200 ELO improvement within 2-3 months using this visual method.

Posters complement books and apps rather than replacing them. Books are great for deep theory but require active study time. Apps (like Lichess Opening Explorer) provide full databases but can overwhelm beginners with too many variations. Our posters offer constant passive learning - they are always visible on your wall, reinforcing patterns through repeated exposure. The visual decision tree format also makes it easier to recall moves during games compared to memorizing text or notation. Use all three: posters for visual anchoring, books for deep dives, and apps for practice.
