Chess Tournament Preperation
Sort:
Realistically in a few months you can make a good amount of progress. Though it depends on how serious you. If you are serious about 30 minutes of puzzles a day, learn the chess principles and play at least 3 games of 10+0 minimum. Along with reviewing each game looking for mistakes and blunders and identifying why they are mistakes and blunders.
Hello. I am a 328 USCF-rated player who will play in a scholastic tournament in a few months. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to prepare. I do puzzles for about 10 minutes every day. Thanks.
