Chess Cheat Sheets

Chess Cheat Sheets is a chess education platform that publishes plug-and-play guides for openings, endgames, and tactics. Each cheat sheet is a detailed 20-page PDF with move-by-move screenshots, example games, and variation PGNs designed to fast-track your understanding of key positions.

The site caters primarily to beginners and intermediate players (under 2000 rating), though advanced players also find value in the concise reference format. The guides cover a wide range of openings, from mainline theory to offbeat weapons, with practical advice on plans and common pitfalls.

Chess Cheat Sheets also maintains an active blog covering topics like the best chess coaches, opening selection, and general improvement advice. Their free openings quiz helps players find the right opening for their style and rewards them with a free cheat sheet on completion.

The ultimate bundle includes 150+ cheat sheets, making it one of the most comprehensive opening reference libraries available as a standalone purchase.
