Opening Study

Avatar of Tormenting_Theo

Hey guys I need some help studying openings. Most people don’t play book theory and play bad moves or just natural developing moves and opening courses/videos don’t teach you how to deal with these moves. I don’t want to go to an analysis board and input these moves myself because I want to understand the moves. Openings I am interested in: (White) English, Ruy Lopez,  (Black) King’s Indian Defense, and how to play against Ruy Lopez and Italian Game as black (I like 1... e5 against 1.e4).

I don't want to learn theory, I want to learn how to play against the three most common moves because 1300's on chess.com aren't going to be playing critical lines of these openings. If anything, most players will be just developing as black and will just play an opening as white because they know the general ideas of the opening.

Look up videos from the hanging pawns channel, he explains which idea each moves prevent so if your opponent plays something different then you know which ideas will be strong for you to play
