Yes and no. I think there are videos that cover openings which will help at this level. It's more about what you take from them. A video that explains the purpose of each move, several such videos in different openings, could be one way to grasp basic principals... seeing them in action, as it were. I doubt AxeKnight is watching them to memorize novelties on move 24 of the Dragon or anything like that.

On the other hand,Snowy,you do need to know how to get out of the opening without having met with disaster.So yes,you do need to  know some opening theory of whichever openings you choose to play ,and those you are likely to meet.But you are right in regards to studying opens sans anything else won't get one very far.

Is that a bullet game? I've had a bullet game before where my opponent just put out all his pawns on the 3rd rank and did time burners the whole game.
