You're rated 800.

You're playing speed chess.

Openings do not decide your games.

You're losing in 10 moves and less.

For white, I think it's pretty standard to move your king's pawn up 2. For black, I like the Russian Defense, the Sicilian Defense, and the French Defense. But the main rule of thumb is to try to control the center of the board, I find it doesn't really matter how you do it.

Your last two sentences contradict each other. Just saying.

I get that it appears that way.  But if you look at the OP's losses, you will see that he lost because of blunders in the opening.  Not because they forgot/mixed up theory. 

That's like blindly memorizing openings, and having no understanding of the positions.

That i can understand.  I fell out of love with it about a year ago.  Unlike many, I am doing well.  Still have a job to go to.  Im basically a hermit, so not much has changed for me.  Hope youre doing well.
