Focus on principles of harmonious development--mobility, center control, time, piece coordination, vulnerability, flexibility, speed.
Hence
1.e4?! e6 2.d4 c5!
a) 3.Nf3
b) 3.d5
c) 3.dxc5
I hate it when people play that line, so it's a great suggestion.

You've got to give squares to get squares.
Personally RC I play a narrow repertoire of openings. I am usually in familiar territory through the opening that way. I suggest find a few openings that you're comfortable with, and build variations around them. Try new ideas in blitz games, forge them with CC games into weapons, then use those weapons in regular club play.

Originally posted by Wulebgrwow, are we now to believe statistics, so that when i look up a line on chessbase and its states, white scores 51%, i think, wow that is the line for me? so it scores higher, perhaps your faith in statistics is like your love of the grammatical element, given to padantry. 🙂
