So far we've learned that...
...the best players study more than just the chess openings they play.
...the best players study the variations that "never" get played.
...there is software that levels the playing field so that anyone can
master the opening with limited time.
But here's the concept about chess openings that most chess players never
realize:
Studying a new, different opening adds understanding to the one you play.
You're probably afraid to "waste" any precious study time on an opening you
don't plan to play. But it's no waste at all.
Some tactics don't work in your opening... but they do work in other
openings.
Some pawn levers don't work in your opening... but they do in other openings.
Some sacrifices don't work in your opening... but they do in different
openings.
Studying another opening makes you better at playing your favorite
opening. You will understand your chess opening better by seeing what works and
doesn't work in other openings.
It's what Bobby Fischer knew. He never played queen pawn openings - and yet
he was confident enough to play one in a world championship match just to show
the Russians that he could!
You're probably skeptical. How can studying queen pawn openings increase your
understanding of the Sicilian?
And I know right now you can't imagine finding the time to study two chess
openings when you can barely find the time to study just one.
