In my opinion one good way to improve at chess is to carefully study two openings, one as White and the other as Black, and learn as many of the variations as possible. There is more to chess than openings of course, but a good grasp of openings sets you well on your way into the middle game.

That works well until your opponent plays different starting moves.
