My 1st tournament!

I am heading off to my first tournament in a few weeks. Any tips or suggestions?

Hi @DogDentures49

Three most important things before a chess tournament:

• Solve a lot of puzzles to improve your tactics.

• Polish your openings.

• Practice over the board.

I explain this in more detail in this short video:

This should help you prepare before the tournament.

Thank you! I am primarily doing this for recreation, but I find it exciting nonetheless!

I have watched the video, thank you!
