Choosing an opening is both exciting and terribly confusing…

A new opening is a thrill in chess…

But it’s hard to know which opening is best for YOU…

  • What factors should you consider? 
  • How long do you stick with an opening before trying something new?
  • How many moves deep should you study? 

In this episode, I interview someone who I consider to be one of the best opening and all-around chess instructors out there…

National Master Bryan Tillis.

Bryan helps me answer all of the above questions and more.
