Chessflare screen with most played moves

The new menu on the right shows the percentage of move occurrences in games, as well as the win rate percentage for each move.


Chessflare section of most played moves

The highlighted move represents the current move. The next four moves are the most commonly played following this sequence. You can see how many games in the database include this move, along with its occurrence percentage and win/loss rate.


Theorizing in chess isn’t just about knowing whether a strategy or opening is objectively correct and likely to win. It’s also about understanding how often it is applied in practice, meaning how players typically respond to a given move. This information helps you prioritize your theoretical study, enabling you to focus on what is most likely to be played and how to counter it effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Knowing the most likely next move is useful for beginner chess players?

Knowing the most likely moves can help a beginner determine if the move they encountered in a game is common. The database will be filtered at a much higher Elo than theirs, so if it's not common, they can deduce that the move might be bad. They can then use Stockfish or analyze the most played moves to build a repertoire against this mistake and write a comment explaining why the move is not viable.

Knowing the most likely next move useful for intermediate chess players?

Intermediate chess players can use this information to prioritize building their repertoire based on the most likely moves, allowing them to deepen their theoretical knowledge of these moves.

Is knowing the most likely next move useful for competition preparation?

Starting with your opponent's strong lines and studying all the moves played in those lines in depth can be a major asset in competition preparation.

A much more powerful alternative to openingTree?

For those familiar with OpeningTree, the concept is similar, but integrated into our node-based tree structure with all the features it offers. This makes it easier to build a coherent repertoire that is closely aligned with the reality it represents. Indeed, this repertoire is designed in response to the most commonly played moves in specific positions.

How to build a chess repertoire with the most commonly played moves?

For instance, you might want to study the French Defense. On ChessFlare, you can download a .PGN file that contains the standard lines of the French Defense, complete with commentary. From this foundation, you can explore the most commonly played moves, either to refute them or to find a response that maintains a balanced evaluation according to Stockfish.
