opening repository for advanced club players
Target group: ELO >1800repertoire for advanced club players with ELO >1800.
White d4
according to Lichess Opening, 59% games start with e4, while 26% games start with d4.
Here it is recommend to play d4, as positional play is getting more important for ELO >1800.
If e4 is played instead until now, it is not recommend to change the opening, and rather
recommend my other blog about opening:

This opening repository does not cover the London System, as it is also covered by the blog above.
Here is the study:
https://critmint-orchard.org/study/prGazNhy
according to lichess database, after d4, the most common moves:
Sf6 (38%), d5 (37%) are covered. Other moves like: e6, g6, c5, d6,c6 are not covered,
while it might be extended later, if I reach the level, or see high possibility for the
corresponding ELO level.

It does not cover the open Sicilian, as it is covered in the study above
Black d4, Sf6 Nimzo Indian Defense
According to Lichess database, d4 is not that popular, and therefore,
I spend less effort on it than the e4.

The current opening repository does not cover other openings like English opening with c4,
as it is covered by the other blog.
