Could you do a video like how to play against certain openings? Like more beginner tutorial, say in this opening with both kings castles short we would usually go for this, in that opening for that… you know what I mean? Just what are the strengths and weaknesses of some common openings and would the game strategies be. I would enjoy anything from 5 minutes to one hour, I’m just curious how u see these. Hm?

No, Kings Indian is a reputable opening. Openings are only meant to create playable positions, and from the end of the opening is the middle game where anything can happen, such as blunders and mistakes which could lose the game or go into an endgame where the same could happen.

Theory and Computers ruin the experience of Chess. The whole idea of Chess is the struggle between minds, but when memorization of move orders, theory and computers come into play, the art, the inspiration of the struggle is gone, and becomes inhuman.

@ShoryukenPunch Trust me, I can see why he gave up on Chess, with the pattern recognition, memorization, etc. But the greatest struggle in Chess is seen through taking what one has learnt and pitching your skills and creativity against someone else of equal stature, in terms of Chess.
