The only opening i really understand is "Winging it."
How much theory can you remember at a maximum

blundering is a way of life for me

I generally don't play alot of theory or theoretical moves in my games as I usually try to be the first one to play a move that's almost never or never been played through before e.g. In the Italian 3.d5!! has almost never been played or seen before and in the Vienna 2.b5!! has never been played or seen before ....

I used to joke about writing a book titled: "300 ways to not play chess. Examples from actual play."

Don't know if you're a Spike Milligan fan...
When he wrote his memoires of the Second World War "Adolf Hitler, my part in his downfall", the dedication page said:
"After Puckoon I swore I'd never write another book. This is it."

in one line or two, maybe 25 moves deep. But i play a lot of weird stuff, so the odds my opponent will play a critical line that deep are almost nil.
Some openings are just so overanalyzed, you just have to remember that much to not get blown off the board. Rarer stuff can often be more forgiving

I have like 15 moves of Muzio gambit committed to memory for some reason but the openings I actually play I know until like move 11

Off the top of my head, I can remember 10 moves and some general ideas. In a 60+ minute game, I am confident that I would remember all of my prep, which admittedly isn't saying much, lol.

Lol yeah llama, same here. Just slowly forget the games because it’s been so long since you had to recall it. Interesting take on the title
I wonder what Ry's answer to the title is, hmm.jpg
the most i've ever remembered off the top of my head unexpected is around 15
But I could remember 20 or more if my opponent plays into pre game prep
so the max you can possibly remember, even hypothetically, is 20
no I have around 25 in some lines
