Opening theory is unimportant to the under 2000 then?

Probably not much use for you
im not a begginer, played all my life.
im just bad online because since you take a break that can be a day long between moves i do bad, i lose focus and have to instantly restart next time i get on. that might just be because i am fairly new to the site though.:😕
