Chess can still be fun even if you don't have much theory onboard. You don't have to play the Grünfeld. Just play "theory-lite" openings like the London, and learn as you go.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI learned London but quickly got bored of it. I would win when I knew the perfect response to the move my opponent played and lose when I didn't. Games turned into a collection of "if opponent plays this, then play that" rules and my mind was a computer applying those rules. Truth is I seriously hate memorizing anything. Maybe chess just isn't the game for me.
