@theTestoftheWest Yes, you are repeating yourself. No, it does not make your point any better.
1. And how do you know they are sharp? Because you've studied the openings. Case closed.
2. Ok. e4 e5 Bc4 Nc6 Qh5 Nf6 Qxf7 #. You want me to give you 5000 more examples? There's your "normal opening moves". You want to play positional Ruy Lopez? Blam! Schliemann defense! You wanna play Sicilian? Sicilian wing gambit or Smith Morra! You try to play calm with the Bird? From's gambit! All these gambits puts immense pressure on the recipient.
3. You can't avoid sharp lines. Booking up is a part of your improvement whether you like it or not.
5. Yes, you want to play positional chess. You don't understand why everyone else doesn't want to play positional chess.
All the lines you've played have been played before. All the thoughts you've thought have been thought before. How about you get some humility and learn from others instead of just staying in your little London bubble? I bet that improves you faster.
