List of chess openings named after places

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many of the 1,327 named chess openings and variants listed by The Oxford Companion to Chess are named for geographic places.[1]

This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
