The Lichess Database provides detailed opening statistics from millions of online games played by users on Lichess.org. This card includes data from a broad player pool, allowing you to see how openings perform across different ratings and time controls.

You can click on any move to add it directly to your opened item. This helps you identify popular practical continuations and align your repertoire with the most frequently played moves in real-world online games.
