Hey guys, I'll be doing my first FIDE-rated tournament in a few weeks. It features G90;+30 (which is a relatively long time compared to what I usually play, G30;+5) and I feel like I may get burnt out or just mentally numb in the middle of the game. I find it hard to concentrate for a long period of time on chess, and I always need something to think of to keep me moving. How should I prepare in advance? Also, if anyone has tips on actually training before the tournament would be greatly appreciated

I’m a mid 1150 player and I think I could get better if I released my mistakes, can anyone better than me review my games and spot my mistakes. Please don’t review my last game.

After a tournament my rating went down, but i was top 6
But, now it shows my rating went up, but I am in 8th place.
Everyone's rating went up and their place changed too.

I prepped for a tournament over the summer, otb, and won said tournament. After, I lost like 200 elo online. I have been trying to regain the points, but I keep raging and losing more points. I took a break and everything. I kept learning from the courses I have, but to no success. I know that I move fast, but when I play slow, I overthink and lose on time. Any tips?

Hey guys,
I've been playing chess for the last 3 years exclusively online since covid, and recently have I tried reaching out to local clubs to play over the board. I feel like I have a respectable enough rating online that somewhere it would translate to otb, but it seems that I struggle against amateurs and general average players. I've beaten titled players online, but seemingly struggle against new to intermediate players.
Has playing on chesscom given me a false impression of my ability to play; or is there a gap to overcome when translating from online to otb? What could I do personally to get better at otb?
what have you guys determined with your own play?
thanks

Is this normal, am I obsessed, or a future grandmaster? I require help.
