What is the best way to study an opening, OR study blacks response to a particular opening. I am talking about leaning all the main variations, and the theory behind them. Is it study of a games database, working with a chess engine, specialised DVD, You Tube, books ??? there seems so many options. Can anyone offer any advice please ? Thank You.
Like most subjects, if you look to see what has been written previously, here and elsewhere, you will find it easier to get a good answer.
People have been writing chess instruction for hundreds of years. Much of it is available online. A lot is in your local library or bookstore.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel.
