Improve Openings

What I was saying was that since you're 1400 in tactics and endgame, but only 1200 in the opening, that you shouldn't resign just because you hang a piece in the opening against an equally-rated opponent. Your pieces are worth more in the middlegame and endgame than theirs and you should have a great opportunity to win back the lost piece, or even win the game.
Your pieces are worth less in the opening, just as your pawns are worth more in the endgame.
the ebst way to learn an opening is to study the endgames that arise from it.
