Contributions to opening theory

In a Chess.com article, International Master Bryan Smith wrote that Kislik "had 2700 level preparation" but later edited his wording to "is very strong in opening theory."[6]

gollark: Why would you want that?

gollark: Make one thread do the reading/broadcasting in a loop, make the other thread do the listening-for-modem-messages/printing in a loop.
gollark: Er, no.
