Also loaded up a Stockfish engine that's available for free. I downloaded a bunch of TWIC pgns and have nearly 2M games for free.

#HIARCS CHESS EXPLORER HAS STOPPED WORKING FOR MAC#

I recently bought a copy of HIARCS for Mac for about $50 and absolutely love it! It's definitely helped my productivity in terms of learning openings and patterns of play. Hey, I tried to use Scid vs Mac several times and never managed to get into it.

The downside with this method is that the lichess opening book and games are tied to games played on the site, which aren't of the highest quality. In the study, you can set up variations and subvariations for all the lines you wish to employ. You could set up a new study for each individual opening and use lichess's built in opening database to come up with moves. If you struggle with move orders, you might also consider something like chess position trainer, which has a free version.Įdit: Another option could leverage lichess's study system. You could build up these databases, then manually review them to get comfortable with move orders and typical plans in the middlegame. The more detailed you go, the more effort it becomes obviously.

Instead of just sicilian, include separate smaller database for Najdorf, Schenvigan, Dragon, etc. As an example, if you play e4, you could set up a database for Sicilian games, 1. You can be as broad or specific as you want to be. Once you have these, people will generally set up smaller databases of key games in a particular line. You'll also want a big database of high level games for research purposes (again see FAQ for list). For free, you can download the free chess database software Scid (see FAQ for help downloading and installing).

There are a couple routes you could take with this.
