I remember back when I stated to play in tournament, I realized that only those that had the time available were the one that really progressed at chess, since I like other grown up who had a real job did NOT had the time available to come back from work and study opening for three to four hours daily. Now with FRC I can even challenge players that are rated 200 rating points higher due to not having to memorize openings. I just played 10 friendly games with a friend rated around 2100 by the USCF and he lost 6 games to me. He admitted that not knowing what to do from the very opening was hard for him, and I reminded him that that was the reason I I never progressed 10 years ago in chess. PS: I didn't tell him that I studied more than 10 books since I left from playing in tournaments, but none were Openings books, Just strategies, tactics, and endings. Jorge
