I like studying the endgame because it's interesting and because it's important.
I don't like studying chess openings because it's tedious and because I'm lazy. To solve this problem I use only 3 chess openings which I will probably use for the rest of my life.
When I have the White pieces (White moves first in chess) I always use the King's Indian Attack.
When I have the Black pieces I use two different openings. Which opening I use depends on White's first move. If White's first move is not (chess notation P-K4 or e4) I use the King's Indian Defense. If White's first move is P-K4 then I use the Sicilian Defence, preferably the Sicilian Defence, Najdorf Variation if that's possible.
The Najdorf is usually very violent and I frequently get killed when I use it.
My last game with the Black pieces I played the Najdorf and I won with it.

I always play chess at https://lichess.org/ because it's the best chess website in the world and because it's free and beautiful.
I can choose any time control I want. I prefer 10-minute games. Each player gets 10 minutes to finish the game. If somebody runs out of time before winning or getting a draw they lose the game.
My Lichess profile is at My Lichess profile.
One more thing: I will never be a chess master. When my opponent is a master I have only about a one percent chance of winning or getting a draw.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
