Continue the struggle never seeing the light. Ask God, is it necessary? My fight, my breath, my pain?

The opening is important, but not as important in knowing the middle game. Learn how to develop concretely, so you don't lose the initiative early. Study tactics of you truly want to improve your game. Learn the opening so you can determine the critical moments. I learned the openings as they came to me. There is no easy one to study, but the themes that pertain to all of them.
Thanks friend.
Can we have friendly unrated match?
wtf was the point of this thread? are you asking or trying to inform people of something?
Kayla_J,
Most players start out with some sort of 1.e4 e5 system. the Giuoco Piano or italian game is often that first opening because all the moves make some sense and none of them contain a self inflicted weakness. I suggest you down load and study some games in that opening.
The point is more to get a feel for the basic ideas, feel and positions that come up in the opening. Not memorize a ton of lines you dont understand. If I may take the liberty of Quoting IM Pfren in a simalar thread a lil while back now.

These should be just enough for a beginner, absolutely no need wasting precious time on memorizing opening moves. Tactics, generic strategy/ pawn structures and basic endgames will pay a much larger dividend. (End Quote)
