Well you need to know how to handle the possum. I would never give a loaded shot gun to a child, nor would I expect a beginner would have success with the possum. The possum is for trained chess professionals ONLY. Amateurs are not required nor expected to use this opening. I suggest you stick to the traditional Ruy Lopez, at least for the time being.
