No... because one of those super Memory card counting dudes... could become GM overnight?

Yeah you also need to know how to play best moves in a position you have not encountered before.

Like i saying... puzzle rush could do more harm than good... by making club player way too impatient. Classic tactic puzzle is better.

Certainly not. The opening is mostly about the ideas. The move orders are what comes last in preparing to play an opening line.

Yep. It requires a little bit of memorizing, but the main goal is to understand the concept behind the moves.

well, a lot of people look at engine moves, and opening books in those positions. And then, they remember their prep in their game

There are people like that. This is where playing offbeat lines comes in handy. The moment that they are out of prep, they will begin to struggle because they do not know the ideas.
