How to remember opening moves

I want to build up an opening repertoire. But that's no good if I can't remember the moves! So, given that, what is the best way to do this? Use something like Chess Position Trainer? Or something else?

I would like to take all the Blitz games I have played on lichess and then compare it against my opening repertoire, which then identifies where I have deviated from my chosen lines. Anything out there to do this?

Thanks,

Jon

Hello @JonL12345

I also study my repertoire like that.
I almost never deviate, I generally add a new move to my repertoire.

( this can change with your openings )

I can say something more clear if I know which openings you play.

What tools do you use to learn?

Just my opinion...

Memorizing opening theory is a waste of time unless you're an expert or near master. Even if you had perfect memory for your openings and had everything mapped out until move 20, what will you do in the middle/end game? What do you do when your opponent deviates from book theory on move 4?

@Unthinkabl3
We don't learn theory. We learn what to do against any reasonable move. And how to exploit unreasonable moves.

I use Stockfish 8 and Chessbase 9. But I don't use a database. I create a board name it Rep.white and insert my games with white until I made a bad move ( but include opponent mistakes ).
I can still be more clear when you say which openings you are trying to memorize.

I also have another board for analysing random openings. I now know QGD Marshall is COMPLETELY UNDERRATED. white has a general slight plus ( like in any other opening ) after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nf6 3.cxd5 c6 (!).

And after analysing it to move 40 ( some variations ), I gave up Traxler and Switched to Ulvestad.

Also, I now know how to punish your opponent for trying to press d4 pawn with Ne7-f5 and Qa5 in Winawer.
( you play Bd3, then take on f5 and Qxg7, he has to give up his rook. I don't accept the g7-h7 gambit. That's very dangerous for a mortal )
( I actually played that OTB. Won by # on move 21 with 2 Queens.)

@savagechess2k, its more about what method to use rather than specific openings I have. I often come across positions where I am not sure what to do, so I would like to auto-identify where I've been going wrong or have deviated from my prepared opening lines.

OK, use my method. But you have to sacrifice too much time ( I do it because I don't know what to do in Summer Holiday. Bored from android or PC games )

You do not need to remember any moves, you just need to understand the principles of the opening and apply them: the centre, development of pieces.

After you have played a game on lichess, or after you have imported an over the board game into lichess, you can analyse it in the analysis board. If you enable table bases (white on blue book icon left below) and if you use the white on blue * icon above right to set the database to masters and then acknowledge, then you can see where you or your opponent deviated from earlier games.

I play the London System and there are many general principles. But there are also key lines where move order is important. General principles are not enough here. That is why I would like to see what I have been playing and how it compares to a pre-engineered opening repertoire.

You don't need to memorize London.
Learn Key Plans in different types of position and that's it.
