Dawww, you can't stop their love! Do I need to memorize openings to be a chess player? Semi serious question.

Semi-serious answer: yes

Aww. That sounds like work. Where should I start? My local library is actively getting rid of their paper media, including the chess manuals.

I used YouTube tutorial to learn a few basic openings. GothamChess has a bunch of videos on different openings, where he goes through the main moves as well as a few variations. He’s definitely not for everyone though - he’s very much primarily a YouTuber/streamer and a chess teacher secondarily.

Thanks! Appreciate the insight into his style, I probably need a vid that goes slowly, like "explain as if I were 5 and this is public television" style. Although....my boi Bob Ross was on public tv and he raced through teaching a brush technique. You better have your palette of colors ready.
