Hi today I am going to tell you how practice and memorize openings
1.Choose openings which suit your style because you tend to have natural grip on it.
2.Choose mail lines because the give you a standard and solid positions thats why all the top players play main lines so they have a peacefull opening.Side line can give points in low level but they are hard in higher level as they have refutation.
3.Understand opening do not memorize it never!. see the problem with memorizing the lines is the donkey way in which you play the moves as told with no own thinking and its bad if opponent changes the move order we get confused and lose the game but if understand the opening and know it core values we can play the opening in any way possible.
4.Be your own search games on your own in the opening. This helps you a lot as you are doing hard work other reading a book written by others see i am not saying u should not read books i am saying you should read books and do something on opening on your own. On top level Carlsen,Caruana,Naka etc create there own take on openings and play so we need to create our own take on a opening which we play.
5.Play games on that opening playing games on that particular opening give you so much EXP losing in online wont matter much as losing in OTB so Playing will make give you a better perspective on the opening and help you discover unknow line and plans.
So thats my 5 points for better opening practice.
Hope you people like it.
Thanking you,
