Tick what you play. Complete repertoire courses are listed under the repertoire page.
Disclosure. No affiliate links are active on this page. How any future ones would be marked.
Tick the openings you play and the mapper lists the courses in our catalogue that are tagged to each one, then shows which side of your repertoire has nothing listed. A match means the course is filed under that opening in our catalogue as of 8 November 2026. It does not mean the course covers every variation you need.
What the mapper does
For each opening you choose, it shows the number of catalogue courses tagged to it, then lists each with seller, price and currency, listed hours and level where stated, and a link to the seller's page. It groups your choices as White, Black against 1.e4 and Black against 1.d4, and tells you which of those has nothing selected.
It works from the catalogue's opening tag, which links each course to one of our opening pages. A course appears under one opening only, usually the one it is mainly about. A full 1.e4 repertoire course appears under the White repertoire page rather than under each line it contains.
What the catalogue holds, by opening
As of 8 November 2026, 171 of 205 catalogue rows carry an opening tag. The counts below are lower bounds: they are the courses we could read, not every course a seller offers. A zero or low count means we found little, not that none exists.
| Opening page | Rows tagged |
|---|---|
| Queen's Gambit | 17 |
| Ruy Lopez | 12 |
| English Opening | 12 |
| Caro-Kann | 11 |
| Najdorf | 10 |
| London System | 10 |
| Sicilian Defense | 10 |
| Italian Game | 9 |
| Pirc and Modern | 8 |
| Benko Gambit, Sicilian Dragon, French, King's Indian | 7 each |
| White repertoire, Scandinavian, Catalan | 6 each |
| Petroff | 5 |
| Scotch, Anti-Sicilian, Grunfeld, King's Gambit | 4 each |
| Slav | 3 |
| Black repertoire, Jobava London | 1 each |
Two things stand out. Most tagged rows are ChessBase single-opening courses, so the catalogue is stronger on named openings than on complete repertoires. And a complete Black repertoire has just one catalogue row. If you want a whole repertoire or a low-theory one, start from the opening repertoire for beginners and low-theory repertoire courses pages instead.
How to read a match
A tag is a filing decision, not a coverage check. We do not infer what a course covers from its title, and the mapper does not tell you which variations a course teaches. For that, open the opening's page, where available, because it compares courses against the opening's main variations and says "not stated" where the seller lists no chapter detail.
Two further cautions. First, many catalogue rows state no level, so a match may not suit your rating. Second, an opening course can mean a large memorisation load. Our page on whether opening courses are worth it covers when a course helps and when free study is enough. If you are choosing between sellers rather than openings, the course finder filters by rating and goal, and the price and refund tracker shows the dated price of each row. Costs can be compared with the price-per-hour calculator and the subscription break-even calculator.
Browse all openings from the openings hub, see the other tools, and read how we review for the limits of what this site can establish. Nobody at ChessCourseFinder has taken any of these courses.
