How do i search for games of a specific opening position?

I would like to search for GM games based on the position. For example, this position of 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5... how do i search for all games that opened with these moves?


In chess explorer, i can only see how to search for games based on the player.

Or I can play the moves, and see the statistics of all games of that position and see the most commonly played moves.

You're not going to be able to see all the games. You'll need to go deeper into the lines. You can see all positions once there is around 10,000 games.

The site limits the number records it returns for viewing through explorer. So you have to navigate to a position that has 10,000 or less games in order to see all the games with that position.

Just yesterday I used https://www.365chess.com/ to search for games with a known position.  Worked great.

You have options.  Here you could go to master games section and just type in the opening you want, although as being said, if there are too many games you will have to mention more specific variation or something. 

Alternative is this for instance:

https://www.chessgames.com/

This site as well have that kind of problem when there are too many games, so be more specific, search games by decades for instance or something like that.

To be honest I don't know, for such things I always use chessbase, and I think there's no better place than chessbase, it's like a must have program if you want to work professionally. 

Thank you WIM Susik! Definitely not trying to work professionally. Just thought it would be useful to figure out how GMs normally play some positions... will give Chessbase a try!
