Due to the fact that those that are rated under 1000 have the problem of really understanding when the different phases in the game begin and end I wanted to share this:

That still makes me really not want to watch. What's the opposite of clickbait?

How exactly is "knowing" when the opening ends supposed to have a positive effect on the quality of your moves ?
Understanding each phase of the game you are in definitely and concretely makes all of the difference in the world, especially for a beginner until i understood that i was stuck under 1000 rating. Also it made me understand the objectives to the opening and that i am trying to beat my opponent in development so i can start the middlegame before them
I desperately want to know, when the opening begins. I hope, my rating will skyrocket to 3,000 as soon as I understand this.
I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to make a big distinction between these "phases." They are after all a bit artificial to begin with; it's really just the difference between bringing your pieces out and then deciding on what to do (once you've done so). And ideally you want to develop with some notion of your possible middlegame plans already in the back of your mind.
