Opening theory you can hold

Chess4pro makes ceramic mugs for chess players who study their openings, and publishes free guides on opening theory in English and Spanish.

A repertoire on your desk

Every mug carries one opening: its name and the diagram of the position after its key moves. The main line that leads there is on each product page, where the board plays it move by move. Keep your White and Black repertoire in sight while you study, play online or prepare for your next tournament.

Our production partner prints each mug when you order. That keeps stock to a minimum and lets us offer 41 openings.
