If you can beat 1800s with QGD/A, why don't you want to go with that when facing someone who's not even 1300? Come to think of it, if you can beat 1800s, what are you doing in an U1300 tournament in the first place? You're not a sandbagger, I hope.

No im not a sandbagger, I just dont play them in rated games. The chess club i go to features a few 1800s and a 2100 who i have never played. Im rating is 990 but only because of 1 tournement.
I suggest memorizing the entire Opening Repertoire For White According to Kramnik series.
In an under 1300 tourny the only surprise will be if you guys don't start hanging pawns and pieces by move 6.
no reason to bother studying any lines for that. they will deviate straight away
I know there is the Reti but could someone point out some other good openings?
I want to use it as a surpirse at a U1300 tournement.
I really should win this easy considering i beat 1800's often using QGD/QGA with white.
