Encyclopedia of Opening Blunders

 

Instead of only learning what you must play in the opening, learn what not to play by learning the opening mistakes and traps that have been discovered over time. The chess material was prepared by IM Yaroslav Ulko and IM Aleksey Mitenkov, both of whom are experienced coaches and players in Russia. This program is designed for studying the blunders in different openings (more than 40 openings), so be ready to trap and avoid being trapped with the Encyclopedia of Opening Blunders.

 

 

 

Features of the program include:

 

 

Several languages are supported: English, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish.

No additional software is required.
