I have noitced that nowadays we no longer play chess as we supposed to be doing ,instead of keeping the pleasure for the game some people are memorising openings by heart  and some others have been playing so much that they no longer need to think before making a move, i mean come on playing chess is about squeezing your brain to come up with new ideas ,it's about making the wrong move or being 1 move away from losing so that your brain is good enough to bring victory from losing and you will get smarter isn't that the point from playing chess? don't you agree .... ?

Yes.

You're...dumb and your rating agrees, lol. Chess IS about coming up with new ideas no matter what opening you use or how many patterns you recognize.

While you do have a point, you have to be able to get into the middlegame and endgame if you want to have an enjoyable chess experience. By memorizing the best variations of the opening, you create a situation where you are much more likely to have interesting middle and endgames.

 Not memorizing openings? Chess hasn't been played like that in over 100 years. Most if not every world champion and grand master since then has learned opening lines.

  NOBODY, including Magnus Carlson has can play chess properly without thinking about their moves. You might find players who seemingly move without thinking, but that is just your own misperception of what is going on. Either they are playing -you- or other weak opponents and the position is so easy that deep thought is not necessary or they are playing really fast time controls.

  You know, there are basically 2 kinds of chess players; those who are serious about it, and those who are not. Just like anything; playing guitar, painting, photography. Some people are happy(like me) to just pick out a few simple songs on the guitar and there are others who want to invest time in learning what it takes to play awesome music.

I suggest you try out chess960.

Basically it's like regular chess, except you have to spin around 960 degrees counter-clockwise before each move.

The disorientating effect makes it difficult to recall opening lines. In fact, it's hard to think at all in this variant, it requires much more concentration and brain power.

chess is supposed to be a hobby in wich you develop your thiniking and get smarter not something to focus on it because there more important things in life to do rather than to learn new tactics and get serious about it unless you have that plenty of free time wich is somthing i think that it  can't be true? ...

You need to learn to be more flexible in your thinking.

I have a new system to teach you for chess 960. I just painted a big X on my wall. Now I have a reference point to keep me orientated. 

When i play on the computer i just draw an X on the screen.
