Has RepettoLettuce actually tried what Fischer reportedly suggested - playng through every line of an MCO twice? Did Fischer ever put the MCO-advice into writing anywhere? How about anything against the possibility of a player perceiving new vistas from an opening book? If reading MCO lines works for someone, it is certainly understandable if the person wants to continue, but it is also understandable if the same idea doesn't work as well for everyone.
Best way to learn openings. . suggestions please

Why are you attacking me? I feel ofended.
You said I have a low IQ, but I'm pretty sure what I said is referred to in the vernacular as "defending." Of course, playing through the MCO cover-to-cover twice while using a non-existing version of Stockfish probably won't elucidate the difference between attacking and defending for you.

I agree with for once.
No suprise. It's one of the few things I agree with GM and FIDE Senior Trainer Grivas (who has authored some opening books up to ten years ago): Today the big majority of openings' books (even the simplified ones "for amateurs") are useless, and in some cases not harmless.
While that may true of the majority of opening books, there have been some very good opening books published in the past few years. These books have far more verbal analysis and explanation than opening books of ten to twenty years ago.
I'm thinking of Vladimir Barsky, The Ragozin Complex; Viktor Moskalenko's two books on the French Defense; and John Shaw, The King's Gambit. Each of these books offer strong discussion of strategic ideas that a player cannot get with a database.
I comprehend what you need. Me in like manner private chess lessons best for you. while I think chess is basically an amusement, it doesn't change anything and can't by and large be gone head to head with respect to, so it doesn't have any kind of effect. The dispute is silly.
