Lichess is an online chess platform where players can play against each other in different rating brackets. Our idea was to visualize the chess opening hierarchy by experience level on the Lichess platform catered to beginner to advanced chess players. Chess openings are specific sequences of moves played by both players in the initial stages of a chess game. We seek to answer whether experienced players play significantly different openings than beginners, if the variety of openings changes across rating levels, and if opening frequency changes across rating levels — giving all players a platform to explore chess openings.
