Until recently, I was playing the Sicilian Dragon and the King's Indian defense.
Sam BelknapGUEST
So against one E4, Sicilian Dragon, and against one D4, King's Indian.
Sam BelknapGUEST
And the structure is almost identical.
Sam BelknapGUEST
Almost identical, yeah.

Well to me I always say the same thing and to me playing system has been the only way because as many of you already know I started late And when I started, a lot of my opponents, they already had a very good repertoire.
Robert RamirezGUEST

Robert RamirezGUEST
And to me it was like, okay, if I have to invest time to learn all of this theory, which is very easy to forget, then how am I gonna learn what truly matters, which is the middle game and the end game? So...
