Enter your favorite systems from books, update them as you like with trends in Grandmaster games, and revise your lines between rounds at your next tournament. Then train to memorize your openings with targeted quizzes. The right answers are based on personal preference, not popularity or the statistical decisions of computers.

The best time to prepare is before the game! **Fill Chess Arsenal with your favorite openings and all their side-lines. Tell it which response you would play in a tournament.

Enter both moves into your repertoire and add a comment to explain the alternative.Switch to training mode and your openings are played back until a key position is reached.
