    You can know what the meta used to be. You can know what the new meta is. But not _why!_ A computer does not think using intuition. I doubt even high level players know the reasons why! You can come up with an explanation, but different people will come up with different explanations. Let me give you an example. A Classic Sicilian Defense. 1. e5 c5 (this is the Sicilian's requirement) 2. Nf3 (this is the Kingside Horse for White) 2. ... d6! (this is curious! Since all it does is support the first Black pawn. Why??) Or, or... 1. e5 c5 (this is the Sicilian's requirement) 2. Bc4 (this is Kishop-3, or the Kingside Bishop diagonally 3 squares) (additionally, this Bishop targets the weak Black King's f7 square albeit just by itself) 2. ... e6! (KZreadrs say this move ‘blocks’ the Bishop. Funny, because a sole Bishop cannot attack. My best guess is instead of blocking, it _prepares the Centre Attack of d5!_ But you can't know what a computer thinks...)

    Learn some openings that you can use most of the time for white or black, so have something prepared for e4 and d4 for white, and the corresponding e5 d5 responses. Something like learning the Italian game, the ruy Lopez and the queens gambit should have you pretty well covered as a start. If you’re facing the Sicilian defense the alapin variation is handy to learn to avoid all the theory involved in the Sicilian. You may face other openings than e4 - e5 and d4 - d5, but they are far less common and you probably won’t see them very often

    The backwards knight move suggested around 8:30-9:00, is that considered a tactical idea or a positional idea? The line that helps develop your bishop. How would you practice finding stuff like that? Usually a tactical idea ends in a capture or a favorable trade.
