I'm kind of having a slump today and I feel that I am repeating ideas too much
I'd guess most players can relate, I know I can.
Maybe I should change my repertoire and mix things around a bit.
Yeah, that's a great idea, you'll also broaden your knowledge of chess, which tends to be useful in ways we don't expect.
Has anyone else faced this situation. What got your inspiration back?
Another thing you can do is use chessgames.com to find, lets say 5 recent GM games from your opening.
Then get 5 games from the 60s, 70s, 80s from that opening too.
Then 5 from even earlier if possible.
15 games total.
Play through all the games at 5 or 10 minutes per game and you're likely to get new ideas for the opening you currently play.
