My personal recommendation is don't get too involved in the game. There's just way too much memorization and boring crap involved in my opinion.

There is no reason that a player that practices tactics regularly and understands basic opening principles cant push his rating to around 1800 or so (playing online). There is no need to get into memorizing opening lines up to that point. I should add that you should know some basic endgames as well, but those dont require much memorization.
