WARNINGS

Tips & Warnings

• Always play the openings you practiced. Don't get to the tournament and change your mind!

• Pay no attention to your opponent's rating. Play chess, not numbers.

• Get up and stretch now and again. Small breaks can be very helpful!

• Your opponent may play extremely fast to throw you off. Take your time, never rush a chess game.

• Don't take long breaks from the tournament game, you run the risk of losing lots of valuable time on your clock.

• Write EVERY move down. If you miss a move, it can be very difficult to catch yourself up.
