Wrong, you can't state that as a general fact. Studying theory can definitely give you a big advantage, and I have certainly met opponents that were 1400 but played the opening as though straight from a theory book. >>In any case, there seems to be no avoiding the dry theory part if you want to >>become really good. >> >>-S. > >my rating is near 2000 and I do not train in chess. I know people at +2100 that don't study theory, but they also have be really careful to survive the opening. Usually they specialize in 1 or 2 openings, and then always stick to that. Quite boring IMO. >If I decide to get better then I think that there are things that can help me >more than theory. You say "more" about everything as though "less" has no right. Well "less" can be a lot sometimes, possible the deciding factor. -S. >Uri
