re:Opening frequencies - 2006/07/03 11:44
I don`t think frequencies are that important, except insomuch as there are things you better be prepared for, and things you don`t see so much. be against the people at your club, or who play in the same tournaments you do. see fairly regularly, and things you don`t. Around here, my (limited) exerperience suggest the following: gambit, Torre attack, stonewall attack, and colle system, and Blackmore-Diemer gambit. Sicillian dragons. The najdorf makes less frequent appearances. The scandivian and caro-Kann are rare but not unheard of. everything you might see. If you have good chess instincts, and you`ve worked on strategy and tactics, you`ll be able to "feel" your way through most offbeat openings, and if you come out of the opening with a slightly inferior position, it`s not a big deal. see, so don`t try. That effort would be at least partially wasted, because by the time you actually see X-Y-Z gambit, you`ll probably have forgotten your preparation. (It`s only easy to remember the preparation you use!). want to play will change as you gain experience, so you want to be flexible. Also, remember that it`s much more important to know what to do when you`ve exhausted your preparation than it is to have your preparation be deep.
