It depends on what kind of a player you are.Play openning based on that.Attacking?Take risks.Defending?Play a solid game with 0 risks.
@Prajna1911 you should practice Scandanavian Defence . If you practice it perfectly, I am sure you will become a master in that.
@CARLSENisBack I totally agree!
Don't make opening blunders and play solid througout the game, you will lose less games, and always "Chess is 99% tactics", tactics can occur anytime, watch out!!
Yeah
@Panagrellus No, It is not a hypothesis. It is a fact. If both the players play nicely then it will be equal , so it will end up in a draw.

How do you know? And what do you mean by "playing nicely"?
That most games between top players (and between top engines) end in a draw does not tell us anything about the probability of a path to a very deep forced mate for black or white from the starting position.

It is not proven in the mathematical sense, but it would be considered proven beyond reasonable doubt in any courtroom even for pronouncing a life sentence.
Several World Champions, who devoted their lives to chess and thus are considered experts stated so: Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Spassky, Fischer, Kasparov, Kramnik...
The last World Championship ended with 12 draws in 12 classical games.
TCEC superfinal engine versus engine games now have imposed unbalanced openings to avoid all draws.
ICCF correspondence games nearly all end in draws.
In the mathematical sense it would be a hypothesis or a conjecture, like the Riemann hypothesis or the Goldbach conjecture, which are also considered true but unproven.

@Panagrellus I mean that if both the players play no blunders and mistakes and they play all the candidate moves It might end up in a draw. It completely depends upon the games .
