Hello sensei jörgen! I really love your games and i am a big fan of your videos. I have some problems with choosing and studying openings. How do you choose your openings and study them, can you give this rookie yankster an advice about that issue?
Hi and many thanks for your kind workds and question! Sorry for late response. I don't know your exact level, but if you are pretty new to chess, I would recommend openings tht are fairly siple with relatively few patterns that you can get to know. Right now, for instance, Alex Colovic has a good introduction to the Scandinavian defence for new players on Chessable. Not too demanding openings give more scope to deepen the understanding of structures. I would also recommend Queen's gambit declined as black. Of course, there is a lot of theory, but head for lines with structures that you are interested in learning. I am currently working on such material for my students right now, so you will see it in this chanel in the future. As white I would recommend 1.e4, but avoid the most theoretical lines. I will get back on this as well, hopefully next week. Don't hesitate to contact me again, but I am still on cancer treatment so I might be a bit slow responding.
