I found this tree and found it an excellent visualisation:

Sicilian

Could anyone provide me with a graph that includes all common chess openings but to a lesser depth?

If this helps, I'm developing an interactive tree graph with chess traps and openings at http://www.chesstree.net. Currently, it shows common openings, how often they are used, and their win-loss ratios. You can also search openings and save your custom openings with comments. It also has a batch of traps in it, although their presentation is yet somewhat unrefined.

  • I like it, but I cannot scroll to see the full extent of the tree. Commented Feb 1, 2015 at 15:04

    You can grab and drag the tree around.

    That's a really cool app. I would recommend making the move percentages to be relative to that ply, rather than the absolute frequency.

    @NathanFD Thanks! You're right; I switched the percentages as relative.

If your search is still ongoing, I have a chess tree with all the openings for you. There is also printable pdf version on https://named-openings-galore.com/

You can build your own with e.g. a mind map tool (http://www.xmind.net/) together with a complete listing of chess openings (e.g. at http://www.chess.com/openings/).

Also Lichess has a similar feature and what makes it different is that this tree is built based on the database of games and the popularity of openings. You can change it based on different rates. Lichess also has name tree option.
