Creating an Opening Repertoire

Don’t underestimate the process of creating an opening repertoire. The process itself can turn into a learning curve and is far from a dull job. It requires some skills to create a repertoire as you want to ensure you only reach your preferred middlegame positions no matter what your opponent replies. Anybody who has created his own repertoire knows actually quite well why he made certain decisions and plays a specific move. So, even memorizing openings is not that simple as you have to create a proper repertoire first, actually for most of us a lifetime project. Managing your opening repertoire and training it without specialized software is a burden. On the other hand, if you use such a helpful tool, you can save a lot of time which can be used for studying middlegame positions or endgames.
