I think studies of Chess Openings is something for very advanced players. How should a Advanced beginner approach Openings ("in a non-study fashion"😉?
1. Always play the same stuff
2. Try different mainstream openings
I almost all of my games I have used something remotly similar to "Good Ol' Ruy". It is probably time to try something different but I cannot make up my mind.
My Opening book as we speak:
As White: 1 e4
Asw Black: IF "1 e4" THEN "2 e5" ELSE "Scream"
Would it be possible to summarized in a resonably oversimplified fashion what kind of positions you would expect from different opening approaches?
Gimme your best sales pitch, please!
