Hello everyone!
Recently, I noticed that my game is kind of stuck at a particular level. My classical rating is about 2100 here on Lichess and my fide rating is around 1500-1600 after the update. I am sometimes able to draw games against 2100-2200 fide rated players (before the update when my rating was about 1300 fide).
When I tell people about my ratings they usually say that I must have a good opening repertoire but seriously speaking I don't have one. So this got me wondering if I am able to reach a level where people think I have an opening repertoire and the fact is I don't have one, then if I actually create an opening repertoire can I improve even further at chess? If I can then how much and how can I?
I just want to know how can I create a good opening repertoire and how can I keep remembering it?
PS: I don't have a coach and work on my own and I don't think it will be a right investment choice for me right now to buy an expensive software like Chessbase.
