How I prepare for tournaments

I am currently playing in a 9-round tournament, and this is how I prepared:
  • D-10 to D-4 : chess "fast" - I do nothing chess related to avoid a burn-out and to get me "hungry" to play.
  • D-3 and D-2 : I play a game against the computer with the same time control and at the same time as in the tournament.
  • D-1 : nothing again, I travel to the tournament and go to the playing hall.
  • D-day : I "warm-up" before the game with easy tactics and I go to war !!! 
 
The start of the tournament wasn't that great (I have two losses), so if you have any suggestions to improve my preparation, please leave a comment.

See you Wednesday!
