How do you study openings?

Hello. I'm having trouble studying chess openings. I would like to know how you study your openings, because they are important to know when playing chess. Studying by reading so many articles can get boring, so I would like to know a more interactice way to study. Thanks.

Yes openings are important but not at your rating level. I would reccommend just studying tactics.  If you must study openings you can get good dvds on most openings of your choice at chessbase.com

I use 2. Ke2. No further study, man.

Sound advice feel free to play it against me any time

No further study - just follow your spiritual leader and indulge yourself in the sheer joy that is offered

A sound advice, yes: try to play opening moves that postpone for as long as reasonably possible the possibility for you to make the slightest "error"

Here is my tactics rating:

Try to understand the opening, not memorise the moves! And yes, the Game Explorer on chess.com is a great way to find suitable openings for yourself as well as the most popular move your opponents will play.

Good luck! :)

Thanks for the tips

Chess opening.....is ok studying it is a pain in the asssss

i try it but with the busy schedule well it's better learn on the board itself and try to remember it's like repetition all the time so the more you play the better you understand those openings....good luck

my rating is not high.but for openings i try to control 4e,e5,d4 and d5

also i try to predict kingside castling.if this happens then g2 and g7 will be good pawns to pin or attack with your bishop.

for white g3 followed by Bg2 protects this as does g6 Bg7 for black .

before castling i believe the F7 and F2 are good squares to attack.

i try to get rid of my D pawn asap as this opens the Queens line of attack on the D file.

likewise, a  gambit of the a pawns opens the fill for the queenside Rook.

I just went through Yasser Seirawan's Winning Chess Opening's. I have gone through the King Pawn Openings. Now I realise that it is a bit artificial to read that way. No one actually plays that way on chess.com - there are so many branches to each 'line'. It simply assumes that Black will play to your line and it never happens.
Should I now jump to the chapter on King Pawn Defenses/ Solution to King Pawn Openings? Does that make more sense? Later on I will go throught he Queen Pawn Openings/ Defenses and Solutions.
I make each move and try to see the repercussions (1 to 2 moves at best is what I manage) - rather than try to learn them by-heart; which is tough at my age.

My plan is as follows, and feel free to critique it, all.

I have never studied any opening, even superficially, except for going through two books, "Getting Started: Ruy Lopez" and "Getting Started: Caro-Kann."  (I am preparing for the World Open and I don't want to get hit with opening traps, which is part of my reason for spending precious time on this.)  I am going through the 4-volume set of "Chess Opening Essentials," partly to learn the tabiyas and get an idea of what is out there, and looking for common traps that spring out of the openings (as in Pandolfini's "Traps and Zaps").  Simultaneously, I am going through master games and examining strategies in those games using systems I will use and comparing them with the "Chess Opening Essentials" commentary.  After making comments and questions in a notebook, I am watching DVDs by GMs on a few of the openings I might use, a basic book on that opening (I liked the "Getting Started series), and looking to ChessBase for continuations.  

That's the plan, for the most part.
