Carlsen only wishes.........

So why is the difference between your standard and mine less than 100. brah, so your first year introduced to chess was 4. Therefore, your argument is invalid. But, I am impressed that you won your first tournament 5/5, congratulations brah

Dude, you don't understand.  Umm, yeah, the human imperative is to survive and replicate.  Consciously or not mens' primary aim is to snag a hot wife and pass our genes down. 

Those links don't work.

No.

To the OP's credit he does play the reversed Paulsen so he gets my respect there.  I studied a mystery reversed Paulsen someone sent me and have been meaning to post the game here. 

Ahhh...Yes, I concur that is why i said it should be national...no a Global agenda to only have sex and be athletes.

Who is this Paulsen fellow?

OK, that's strange... Search Burrell, Michael.

Some guy in  Morphy's day who first played and analyzed 1.e4,c5 2.Nf3,e6 3.d4,cxd4 4.Nxd4,a6 systems.  It's a great Sicilian to play though there's still some theory it's nowhere near as much as the Najdorf or Dragon.  Grischuk, Caruana, and Svidler among many others play this system and is becoming fashionable. It is even currently hotter than 2...Nc6 as of right now. 

I don't study openings brah. I find that studying too early can be counter-intuitive to completely grasping essential concepts. I just rely on pattern recognition mostly. 

Yeah opening study is overrated, but if you understand basic strategic concepts then you'll naturally make reasonable moves in the Paulsen.  Reversed Paulsen though requires far less theoretical study as it's from the white side.  Better to recognize certain concepts, themes, and ideas than rote memorization of lines which only becomes important above 1600 (USCF).  Even then there are systems too sophisticated for a class B or even A to fully grasp the ideas. 

Openings where one can get away with natural moves are recommended such as 1.d4 2.Nf3 as white (no g3 as that's the Catalan, which only those above 2000 should touch) and the Nimzo, Queen, or Bogo Indian against 1.d4, and Paulsen or Alekhine Defense against 1.e4.  Memorize and understand the Tal Gambit (one of the only sound gambits left) against 1.e4,c5 2.f4,d5! 3.exd5,Nf6 4.c4,e6 and black owns the d4 square, and the 2...Nf6 variation of the 1.e4,c5 2.c3,Nf6 Sicilian.  Sounds like a lot but isn't, as the Najdorf alone requires much more memorization than those opening systems.

Wow. Thank you Boogie for the insight, I really appreciate it. Yes, I am planning to start studying once I reach the inevitable plateau. But, sine I have been playing players 1400-1600 I notice certain tendencies and their thought process, so i think I may be able to get away with not studying porbably until 1600 or so. But, I will definitely start studying once I reach a level where the players calcuate further than I can and where their thought process surpasses mine.  Note: I am  talking about live standard chess, not correspondence chess here. 

You don't study openings? Too bad, you won't get any further than 1500 or so. Anyone with some skill and knowledge will wipe the floor with you. Pattern recognition is only one of the importaint things for a chess player.

Wow, you're doing really well, good luck in the future.

Keep in mind that even live standard is inflated compared to FIDE.  I've noticed that certain players in certain ranges have holes too.  Hell, I've looked at a sub-1000 game here where black LOST against 1.f3,e5 2.e4,Nf6 3.g4 even though the pawn structure resembles a hybrid between the Damiano and Fool's Mate.  3...Nxe4! and white is already finished for example.  I also saw a 1300 fail to win a queen when it was on c6.  When I was new here I sacced a queen for immediate checkmate against an 1100 correspondance.  I even analyzed the position to death to conclude it was a sound sac and expected fxe4-Qxg5 winning a bishop and pawn for knight and gaining a lot of activity while weakening the king, which was winning, but not nearly as winning since Bxd8-Bf2# obviously won much faster.  

Naa.  Very limited and basic opening prep (no opening books and very little memorization) can take you to 1800-2000 USCF comfortably... of course this means you're not playing Najdorfs and such.

I'm not saying that's a good or bad way, just that openings are very low on the list of necessities.

What is his rating? 

do you agree that reading or studying too early can be dertrimental to a young chess player? 

ummm no...

You can search yourself :p

It's still provisional, but like he said he's doing very well for his first year.  After 4 or 5 G/30 scholastic tournaments it's 1500.
