Yes, I'm sure all the kids will be overjoyed when they see the 50+ opening variations you have presented for them to memorise. 

There's not going to be a test, is there?

I believe Chess Opening Variations will soon be entering the educational system at both the GCSE and A-Level tiers in the U.K., however I cannot speak for across the pond!

ADHD

Someday, they'll have calculating machines which can sort thru hundreds, heck even thousands of games in less than 30 minutes and find games by the number of moves in them and the opening and all sorts of catagorizable data... sort of a data bank, or base... we could call them... uh, databases! Someday! Until then we'll just have to write out these games this way... long hand, with our feather pens and india ink... Well, at least we have whale-oil to light our lanterns in the night!

Not to memorize,but to be familiar with.CT

It is already a memorandum in our Department of Education.CT
