I completely agree, developing a solid repertoire is crucial in chess, however right now it's not going to be my main focus because humbly, I can probably play the opening stage as well as a 1700+, according to a free Aimchess report I got and a ~2000 rapid Lichess player.
My problem is the middlegame, and I'm hoping The Soviet Chess Primer book can do wonders to that.
