Looking for sparring partner

Hello,

my name is Milan, I am 27 years old and speak German, English and Serbian.

I play chess for almost 9 years but really started to "understand" this game since the last two years. Recently I've reached an Elo of 1800/2000 (chess.com/lichess) in Blitz and felt like hitting an invisible wall. I am very inconsistent regarding my chess skills and I think its manly due to the fact that I mostly rely on intuition rather than theory, which I've never bothered to deal with.

That's why I am going heavily into theory recently. Sadly I've noticed that I have trouble remembering all these "foreign" ideas and that I should practice all these lines over the board rather than just trying to memorize all of it and to go into Blitz games where I rarely use them  since people play all kinds of openings.

If there is someone who is in a similar Elo range who would like to practice specific openings with me, pls hit me up. My repertoire for white is currently: Queens Gambit (Accepted, Declined etc.), f3 Nimzo-Indian, Benko Gambit, Benoni and Kings Indian (Sämisch). My repertoire for black is: Sicilian Najdorf, Anti-Scilians (Smith-Morra, Alapin etc.) and the Semi-Slav. (Here my resources are YT videos, I try to avoid books. They are simply to "dry" for my taste)

Till soon!
