00:00And nothing is going to sort of ruin your position instantly.
00:04So there's so many ways you can play, you know, with Zeitzel, Bishop, B7, or Classico, Chigord, who's Knight, A5.
00:12But if you play Sicilian, if you play Neidorf, and you play Sveshnikov, then you have to work.
00:19So my recommendation, you can have one sharp opening if you have an appetite for practicing and learning.
00:30Spending time with your computer and looking for some novelties, because you have to be well aware about new moves made by strong players.
00:39Because if it's a popular opening, something happens all the time.
00:41As we speak, you know, somewhere on our planet, chess players are testing these positions, and something else can happen before we end our conversation.
00:53And you can also look for some relatively quiet openings.
00:58When I say quiet, it's not as sharp, where you can have luxury of relying on your knowledge.
01:06Again, we're talking exclusively, because you're talking to me, exclusively about open or semi-open.
01:14Because E4, as you noticed, I talked about C5 or E5.
01:18There is also E6, it's semi-open, like E6 and C6, Karakhan, or Pirz.
01:27So, fiancating the bishop.
01:30Technically, C5 is also semi-open, but I cannot call Sicilian semi-open.
01:34For me, it's the most open position one can hope for.
01:39I will go over some of the personal experiences in more detail, in a case study, just to give you more insight in the way I made decisions in some of the openings.
01:52But now, we're just looking at this, sort of the whole story of my professional chess life.
