ChessPath — Opening Explorer BETA

THIS EXTENSION IS FOR BETA TESTING. Explore chess openings as a branching map with move hints and private Friend Play.

Move through an opening directly on the board and instantly see where the position can go next. ChessPath shows the opening name, ECO code, available continuations, related variations, and a contextual opening tree that grows as you explore.
