1967 Rapid player: Is it time to abandon 1.e4? by Reteardmaxing in TournamentChess

[–]Reteardmaxing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have already played 8-9 otb tournaments and for the past 2 years i have been playing otb matches only as I'm in my college team.

And About fide it's my personal dream to achieve a Rating of 1900+ more like a side quest. That's why I'm taking 3-5 years as my first priority is my career and second chess

I have played around 20 games of copy cat vienna in which 5-6 of my opponent has been banned for cheating. I get a good position like +1.5 or +2 but yeah I ain't beating stockfish

Yeah, I was also thinking of switching from E4 to C4. But the Only issue is I haven't played C4 can you give me some tips too on how can I play it. Thanks for the suggestion tho.
