I like your bullet points.

On the fourth, I vary a little, I do not look at what other players consider the plans of the opening, not systematically. I play systems with the English Opening, its interesting enough for me to look at a couple four move variations for several weeks. True enough, I am a casual player.

Currently, I'm studying English systems that begin with some variations of c4 g3 Nc3 d3 Nf3.

This is my recent game. I intended to divert from English with 1d4, but the first few moves progressed to a somewhat English structure.

There are free tools (and some where you have to pay for ofc) to build your own repertoire and I would recomment to use them.

Instead of a fixed repertoire you can start with a blank page there and then you just add your moves after you played a game and analysed your position till a certain point. In this case your repertoire grows naturatly and you use the repetitions to remember moves you should understand cause you analysed them after your games.

If you can't remember certain moves even after a lot of repetition, you may want to switch the variation cause you don't understand it, so your repertoire stays flexible.

I would say, if you use theses tools that way, you get a good combination of several skills. You will get the unstanding, cause your repertoire is based on your games and also you get the detailed knowledge of crucial lines, cause you put the repetitions in.

I've had a chance to review all of your content available including the Premium plan membership and it's some of the most generic and empty advice mixed in with marketing 101 techniques. Somehow you manage to fit a bullet list of 3 short generic good advice sentences into a 10 minute video everytime.

Saying Chess is not about memorization is just factually wrong, especially on a higher level, there's intuition and then there's memorization of various techniques, theoretical openings, middlegames, endgames.

You're a GM and you know this, which begs the question, Why are you purposefully lying to people here?

Aman Hambleton's opening speed runs on Chessbrah are excellent to learn and understand openings. Currently doing the Philidor

After watching a program about digital transformation in Pakistan, I was surprised at how confidently online services, including casinos, are developing there. This inspired me - I decided to try it too. On the https://jeetwins-pk.com/ website, everything is arranged in such a way that even a beginner will quickly get used to it. The emotions from the game are pleasantly invigorating, and the process itself is as comfortable and honest as possible.

One late night I couldn’t sleep and started looking for random stuff to pass time. I stumbled on https://slottica-casino.co.in/ and just gave it a go. No long forms, it was straight to point. They give so many starting promos that you don’t feel you wasting anything. Was nice to find something chill to do while lying in bed with nothing else going on.
