Then, until you find the time, tell me not again that "that 's how you play too" and ask me not again why you are not as good as me🙂

You see, the sole difference between you and me is that somehow "I found" time whilst you did not😛😀😵

This old man has to train every day😵

I am not good; I just do the same training again and again again till perfection -which it never seems to come!
I just follow the opening theory of a specific strategy that I understand in full, so after all those years I know by means of trial and error analyses when I have to quit it.

You as well can do it easily once you establish your own repert ...[text shortened]... d every single game I played since that year with the White is 1.d4!

I hope you comprehend😵

if i understand you beetle my friend, what you have in your repertoire is a living organic entity that has grown and evolved with time. like streams of water, a little narrow burn (stream) at first, then broadening to a river, then the estuary and opening out to the sea. oh how i wish i had taken my next door neighbors advice and taken up chess in my teens, instead of waiting till my mind is diminishing and my tolerance cynical!

I do it like the Japanese: one single punch and one single kick again and again and again. It's a never ending story, I have to practice every day. I just practice the same punch and the same kick every day for so many times that now this punch and this kick have become Myself; I became gradually this punch and this kick😵

Tarrasch was too strong and in many occasions he prefered to keep his pieces free and dynamic instead of putting pressure against a static pawn structure, however he was very dogmatic.

Actually, as a writer Tarrasch was often dogmatic, but as a player he was immensely creative and pragmatic. IMO, his The Game of Chess is a great book, but when he says things like the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 f4 d5) is the "refutation" to the King's Gambit, I find him unintentionally amusing rather than instructive.

This is just exactly what I mean too, my friend😵
