I remember having encountered a Chess joke that went something like this:

Two Chess players of modest attainments are talking. One says to the other: "You shouldn't be playing (these openings/this move in this opening). Bobby Fischer always plays (this other opening/this other move)."

The other player replies: "Yes, but Fischer knows what to do _next_ after playing that; I don't!"

Does anyone recognize this joke, and could tell me where it was from?

That's not a joke, that's common sense.

The principle is common sense.

That does not preclude it being illustrated by
an anecdote that is humorous.

Right, if you provide a funny anecdote.

In my first rated tournament I switched towards the end from the French to the Sicilian.

"But you don't know anything in the Sicilian beyond the first move" a friend said, exaggerating
a bit.

"True, but I do know what happens in the French beyond the first move: I lose".

I drew the Sicilian as the Grand Prix attack had yet to be invented.
