i cant be bothered learning openings, for me it makes the game less fun

I am terrible at chess but I really love it, so I play and I try to learn from my blunders :D Btw I really like the Vienna game and the Scandinavian defense.

i study chess lines by watching kramnik games only, he's my fav player with his positional godlike style

hey

Just hit 1300 rapid rating. Not studying at all, I know I could get much better if I studied but I'm too lazy

im the worlds worst chess player but ive been playing a lot recently. if i really want to learn a specific opening or something i look at a lichess study on it but i always forget everything afterwards

caro kan for black and I d sat ruy lopez for white 800 elo

1700 rapid on chess com haven't really studied openings that much. I got some counters on couple of the most common openings, london and sicilian, and also some specific lines, such as copycat variation of vienna and traxler

I play FPS chess

I guess it's early to study lines with that elo. Knowing basic opening concepts is enough. Id say you should rather focus on learning and sharpening your tactics.

I used to be pretty good at school level, atleast in Classical (not really classical, but they gave 60mins). I recently got back into it after few years. I am definitely worse than I expected, or maybe it's 5minute Blitz being too fast for me, cause 80% of my losses are on time. On White, I almost always do Queen's Gambit or King's Indian. Black is weird, cause people play whatever opening below like 1500. If it goes e4 e5, I just defend with Knight. If it's d4 d5, I do Albin Countergambit. Most of my defences come from YouTube shorts lol

I have played chess since I was 6 or 7 or something. But I play for fun only, I never study it. I suck at it. Chess is also one of the few sports I follow alongside csgo

Youtube videos on openings( example channels: St Louis Chess Club, GothamChess, Hanging Pawns, Eric rosen, Jonathan Schrantz ,William Graif, Robert Ramirez) (Example openings: French Defense, Vienna Game, Polish opening, King's Gambit, Queen's Gambit), Game reviews and Analysis on chess.com games, check the Lichess.org opening explorer to see winrates of different moves/openings, maybe even use a chess GUI to analyze openings yourself with the latest stockfish because lichess/chess.com doesn't always have the best engine for analysis. Paid options are to buy opening courses availablle on Chessable and Chessly. Chess.com's discord has a big post somewhere on How to improve at chess.
