| Jul 25, 2014 at 17:19 | comment | added | Cleveland | Beginners are literally unable to memorize cutting-edge opening theory. Or, if I'm trying to be 100% clear with what I'm saying: No beginners are able to memorize enough cutting-edge theory that anything past move 5-ish is likely to show up in their games. | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 17:11 | comment | added | CodeSammich | Please double check your statement. I'm not sure what you mean by 'no beginners memorize... because they are literally unable to". With your double negative (not trying to be picky, I just don't understand), I don't want to guess what's in your head. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 14:09 | comment | added | Cleveland | I disagree unequivocally with your assessment of the Dragon. I got to 1700 knowing only to play f3 and g4 against it with White and it vastly improved my understanding. No beginners memorize cutting-edge theory because they literally are unable to. Their chess brains aren't developed enough yet. | |
