"... If your goals in chess are relatively modest, (i.e- no higher than 2200), you can play many less conventional openings and get away with it. Once you have loftier goals you may be able to get away with more dubious lines, but you’ll be putting yourself at a handicap. Below are my recommendations for various rating goals. ..." - IM Greg Shahade (2012)
