How to get to 1000 elo RAPID.

It can be useful but not if you don't understand the position

Just playing the game itself is huge. It can supplemented with book study or youtube, maybe not audio only though. Just playing, enjoying the game, making it a habit, that’s a huge part of it.

So you need to know why your opponent played that oppening.

I actually am lazy to learn an opening, so uh.....

Endgame better anyway learn that

Opening will come naturally once you understand positional play

Oooooooh.........

@KingBlooDrinker57 middleground between learning so much openings and learning nothing, then just learn 1 opening for white and play it every time. Get both of best worlds, not so much study but also stay even or get an advantage to your opponent early on.
