You don't actually spend 100,000s of hours memorizing openings. You study the basic opening principles and key variants, but for the most part it comes very naturally. You play 100,000s of hours of chess, and EVERY chess game has an opening.

100k hours is 11.4 years straight.

Just sayin’...

They said "hundreds or thousands" not "hundreds of thousands"
