I must confess that I fail to see a need for this game.
What I do if I get bored of some opening is to switch to another and a whole new
world opens up.
I have answer 1.e4 with 1...c6 for many years, but last year I got brave and
moved the c-pawn two square forward and now my black games against 1.e4 become
interesting and new again.
This was radical but I did a less radical switch in the 1.d4 opening with going
from Queen Indian to Bogo-Indian as an answer to 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3

What is a game of chess?
A big part is to try to remember something you have learned/analysed, either by
looking it up in your memory like you do in the opening and endgame play, or
using your intuition (tactical training) to know where to calculate. Even in the
middlegame you use learned stuff.
