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!
. It corresponds to the 1300 elo level. I did stage 1 (level 1200 elo) last week. I will repeat stage 2 because I failed to solve some of the problems. I intend to repeat it until I have 100% of correct and complete answers. My rating is 1594 but my tactical strength isn't even 1300, this confirms that tactics is one of my weaknesses.
