Tyson,
Do you think that you can qualify that statement?
For as you are well aware, opening theory goes out of fashion so quickly.
An opening book say, runs out of worth after 6 months, hence why fewer and
fewer of them are being written and opening theory is being assigned to such
websites as:
http://www.chesspublishing.com
Would you not put more credence on learning a few basic lines and then
understanding the objectives of the setup, the basis of the structure, common
tricks and trends and specifics to where you are try to accomplish and
particular targets of interest?
Thoughts welcome
Cheers,
Chris

All,
This is why it is important to learn your openings in case you meet a
Chinese opponent!
