I wouldn't recommend spending much time on theory, since at your level it's all 1 and 2 move tactics.
Well, if the small sample size contains any actual meaning then obviously I need to get better against moves other than 1. ... e5, I'm 40% vs. the Sicilian (10 games), 50% vs. the French (6 games), and 40% vs. the Scandinavian (5 games). I'm more comfortable out of the opening in any of those than I am in the Queen's gambit though (I mean I FEEL good about my position, and obviously given the level I'm playing at always have at least one chance to win easily according to post-game blunder checks with Fritz). Queen's gambit is the opening I feel least comfortable against, but I'm 67.7% vs. it in 9 games.
I know, this is all just a sample size issue. I don't really think it means anything more than that, which is why I brought it up in the BBV thread instead of the LC thread. Still, the numbers are just weird. I mean OVER 70% as BLACK? WTF?
