Many new articles enrich the current theory with new or revisited ideas. The Encyclopedia can help you learn openings quickly and give you a head start on your next opponent. Each article contains explanations and annotated games illustrating typical plans to deepen your understanding.
The Opening Encyclopedia offers quick access to all openings. The openings are sorted by name and ECO code via the menu for quick and easy access to your favorite openings. Opening Tutorials give a quick yet comprehensive overview of all established openings to help every chess player find the most suitable opening according to their personal preferences. 100 high-class opening videos are included in the Encyclopedia 2025, from our popular ChessBase Authors.

The number of articles in the Opening Encyclopedia is growing – it now contains 1,524 and the included database contains all games from all opening articles.
One more highlight: Grandmaster Dorian Rogozenco presents opening trends in world-class chess. You can look forward to a total of 9 videos on the French, Sicilian, Najdorf, Ruy Lopez, Italian, Petroff, English, Queen’s Gambit Declined, from the entire year 2024 to spring 2025.
