Thanks! I don't think I would be able to keep it if I kept playing either lol

I'm gonna hit the books now and rework my repertoire. Do you have any opening book recommendations? Preferably something really wordy instead of 1 that just spams lines (d4 white, e5 black, qga black)?

The Naka karate stance is a top 10 chess moment lmao

"Fundamental Chess Openings" by GM Paul Sterren

It has variations throughout it, but it's mostly GM Sterren talking about the general ideas and common plans for each side. It covers all the main openings and defenses, including the 3 you mentioned.

It's easy, all you need to do is buy a lamb

You then eat the lambs heart raw while dancing around a fire and ask Zeus to accept this sacrifice in exchange for +50 elo
