Hi friends. Today I am asking on how to stop dropping pieces in the opening. Recently I've lost a ton of games in rapid due to losing minor pieces (especially knights) in the opening and having to try and win against 2000+ with 2 pawns for a knight. I sometimes pull this off but not always. Anyways, back to my main point. How do I prevent this? By actually building an opening repertoire? Practicing tactics? Playing longer time controls than 10+0? Please someone give advice to help me combat this weakness.
like do you get your pieces trapped in the opening or you hang them
