I think I must be one of those people. I wouldn't even know where to start to "invest 10% of my income favourably in stuff I understand." What does that mean? Examples?

Openings are the killer for me - I can never remember them, and it feels like a cheat to just remember a particular opening and trot out all the same moves all the time anyway. But then I lose because I've made an obvious mistake durin
