How grandmasters learn and memorize hundreds of openings
Have you ever wondered how grandmasters memorize 100 of openings? If you have, this blog is right for you. In this blog I will be showing you the exact way of memorizing tons of openings and lines.
1. Learn WHY you play that opening
I am going to use the French defense as an example, but this applies to every opening.
Memorizing the opening is harder than understanding. When you understand an opening, you know what to do because you always understand the point of the move. When I was about 1500 chess.com, I did not know anything about almost every opening, but when I started to understand the concepts of the openings, I knew at least 10 openings and the lines.
2. Always ask your self”What is my plan?”
Do you see how the first tip and the second tip are similar? These are universal tips. When we know the plans of the opening, then we know what to do.
3. Ask your self”What are to best places for my pieces that help the plan of the opening?”
When your pawns and pieces are teaming up together, the plan becomes much easier.
4. Pick favorable exchanges only so that you know when to strike
Did you see how we go a completely winning position after 2 exchanges?
exchanges are mostly not equal.
Hopefully these tips will help you learn your openings more efficiently!
