In fact, opening encyclopedias actuality are not related to the existence of chess engines or to the latest that has been played. MCO is an excellent source of information. So really, learning a line is learning about 4-6 moves which isn't hard if you understand why you're making those moves. The first few moves you won't have to memorize because you play them all the time. Usually that's enough.įor normal players (ie below GM) most openings aren't going to be more than about 8-10 moves deep. If it comes up in a game and I don't remember it, I'll go over the analysis again. I do my opening analysis one time and usually remember most of it because I understand why I'm making the moves. I can honestly say I have never once tried to memorize a line in the entire time I'm played chess. Memorizing lines won't get you anywhere unless you're playing someone who tried to memorize the same but did a worse job at it. Also, sometimes the positional evaluations might be interesting especially if they contradict the engines and databases. I will say though that it is useful to quickly run through an opening and get a feel for the types of typical positions that come up. You aren't going to learn much that you couldn't learn from a database.
