Only play into a variation in which your opponent is strong if you have your own personal novelty ready!

Playing without a concurrent critical review of one's skills will simply get you nowhere.

One of the objectives of opening play is to try to surprise your opponent.

The key to ultimate succcess is the determination to progress day by day.

You must be able to handle a variety of move orders during the first 5-6 moves - otherwise you'll find yourself 'tricked' time and time again.

Your practical results will improve when you play what you know, like and have confidence in.
