      It is not really a surprise, top players train and play chess for a lot of years extensively, like you can learn a whole language in that time and effort, why would it be crazy to memorize like 50 openings in that timeframe? Mainlines are not that hard anyway, just by watching occasionally streams it's possible, variations are more numerous, but they are named after their inventors and their famous games, and are probably cornerstones of chess courses

    • @BoltTheEmolga

      Dutch defense isn’t hard to memorize, it’s literally just black playing f5 on the first move against anything not named e4. The variations are a lot more unrealistic to memorize of course, but the Dutch is a single pawn move, like the Sicilian or the French.

      The best way to get out of that problem is to ask yourself: "Can any of my pieces be improved?" Look for moves that make your pieces more active, have control of more space, have more mobility, have more potential threats. Also, analyse your games afterwards with an engine, and the engine will tell you what you should have played.

    My guess both players have memorized a opening, but haven't learned anything past that (at that point of their progress anyway).

Same with queen trades, if you can take a queen with a pawn I would spend some time to wonder what kind of trap this is before just taking it.
