Spend time studying the standard openings.
Opponent responds with a non-standard move.
Blunder queen and resign.
Learn nothing from the experience.
That's why I only play blitz and bullet chess. No time to learn anything 🧠
Pick an opening with few trap lines
play it every single game
always hit the "use computer analysis" button after a game and see if you fucked up the opening
Learn the new line you didn't know.
when you see non standard responses , stick to your game plan. if they trap you, learn the trap.
5a) If you don't know your game plan, learn it.
I did it on my lichess profile; I basically play d4 into blackmar-diemer, sometimes it devolves into the advanced french. for black it's hyperaccelerated dragon or modern (e4, c5, g6 or anything , g6). I try to stick to the same structure with black and white regardless of opponent (with the exception of known trap lines) , which means that I know the position better than my opponent; or at least I can hope for that. I still lose, but at least I make it into a middlegame and enjoy playing. Sometimes knowing the line gives me a time advantage, sometimes it's cramped but manageable.
Sir, this is checkers.
Holy hell
