I have tried to change my boring opening play in the recent years to something more interesting but I may have not succeeded in that all that well. I just quite easily revert back to some boring line that I played hundreds of times and the fear of losing a game keeps me from trying something new. I should have learned in all the years that I have played chess that I will lose games regardless of what opening I play. Maybe only recently I have tried to expand my knowledge by playing different openings on different sites, this refers mostly to sites where I play correspondence chess, in one site I play only 1.e4 as white, the other I play only 1.d4 and in the other sites I only play either 1.Nf3 or 1.c4. Also my responses to these moves differ from site to site in order to try as many different openings as possible simultaneously to maybe find one that I would like and continue playing it more in the future.
In this game there ought to be a little training question, not sure how it plays out in the game publishing tool but in the pgn-file it should work if it doesn't please let me know in the comments. The training question was created by Deep Fritz 14. By the way, the games that show up in the comments are taken from the reference database I am using which is the Big Database 2014 which I try to keep updated every week if I remember to do it. Also the example games are not always from best possible games in terms of quality since the players involved might be quite low rated. Maybe if I had time to make sure all the players in my reference database were rated over 2400, for example, I could more easily rely on the lines taken from the database.
