I`am also changing my Repertoire constantly, but not because I want so....it is just that I can´t decide!
With White I want to play 1.e4 but with black it is very difficult... Against 1.e4 e5!? or 1...e6? And against 1.d4 perhaps something like Nimzo/Bogo... My dream is to have a Repertoire that last lifetime.
Undecided

Downright routine for the very top players now as a matter of self defense. Probably very sensible to have at least some options/variety once you reach a level where your games are in databases and opponents have the opportunity (time and warning) to really prepare in advance.

I tend to overhaul a chunk of my repitoire every year or two. More to keep myself interested than anything else though.

No you are not the only one who is changing constantly in openings. In fact it is today considered as an accepted method to achieve strong results. I wrote last year a blogarticle about people having a very large repertoire with black: http://schaken-brabo.blogspot.com/2012/10/een-uitgebreid-zwartrepertoire.html

Am I the only one here who is constantly changing what openings they want to play, or who is indecisive about what to play? I can't seem to make up my mind about whether to play the Najdorf or 1...e5, and within 1...e5 I can't decide between the Archangel or Breyer. Anyone else have this problem? Smiley
