so i just have a few questions

  1. when playing these openings, do you tend to play it more like a system opening example: d5-c6-e6-Nf6-Nd7-Bd6-b6-Bb7, or do you play it more like an ¨adapt to your opponents play and punish how they set up?¨
  2. when you play these openings, do you study the theory to beat your opponent or is it more like ¨i know the basic setups and plans and ill use those ¨
  3. when you are white against these openings, do you play into the main lines and most challenging ways possible, or do you play the exchange variation despite how much you may dislike it when as black?
