Difficulty in memorizing opening line?
I was a 800 rapid rated player and I tried my level hard to remember the opening lines of both white and black. Eventually I was bad at memorizing it so failed. Later on i realized is to stick to basics. I tried working on positional play. By initiating with developing pieces, checks, threats and counter attack I built my own strategy against the opponent. Taking this into consideration I started a challenge of ROAD TO 1500 ELO which I live streamed both on Twitch and YouTube. Somehow I managed to reach 1200 ELO rn. There is a lot for me to learn. Be that endgame of positional counter play. This is my approach of gradually improving my chess when I was not able to byheart opening lines. I hope this article helped you. Make sure you share with all others who struggle at the same. Thanks for giving your time to read the article.
