Oh don't worry, before I start studying anything new I will completely review the openings I used to use, and middle and end game material that I have. thanks for the advice, I will take a look at it.

So I'll be using whatever openings you suggest against people in the 1600+ crowd. So what are some openings you think I should take a look at? Arguably playing 1. e4 e5(!) will be most beneficial for your chess development. Studying the two QualityChess books by Marin will teach you all you need to know about 1. e4 e5 etc. until you reach 2000+. <belgian/>

If that should be the case (which I doubt very much) then look for 'something else'. Which means you should exclude the Scandinavian. After all that's just an accelerated C-K... i thought it was more of an accelerated french,(depends on move orders)

	I have been playing the caro kann for a few years now and its a great opening I've had a lot of success with, but I feel like it's now time for me to expand my opening repertoire. I'm looking for something that doesn't have too many variations to memorize, and something I can use too play for the win, since I already have a solid positional opening in the kann. If it helps at all I was rated 1584 and my rating was climbing 2 years ago before I took a long break from chess to devote myself to school and sports.
