"This is very true. I never play 1.d4 games so the positions that often arise from them take me a little longer to get to grips with than say a 1600-1700 who plays 1.d4 every game and has a natural feel for the positions/plans. I keep meaning to take up 1.d4/c4 semi regularly to solve this but still havent got around to it (lazy me ) I tend to practice a lot against a good friend on playchess his style is totally the oppsite of mine, a lot of his candidate moves are things I wouldnt even consider but after a while Iv started to get to grips with how he sees positions and what he might play/plan in them. I think if people want to progess that they probably have to become a jack of all trades, although not really straying them their natural style too much they do have to understand others."
Maybe this will make it even more interesting...
