Hello Everyone,
I will be attending my first over the board tournament soon in the U1000 section. The time control is 90mins with +30s. I was wondering what kind of opening preparation should I have? I was thinking of learning King's Indian Defence for the Black pieces and variations of Queen's Gambit for the White pieces. To be honest I don't really know what to expect from my opponents and I am not sure if I can actually continue with Queen's Gambit if my opponent doesn't play 2...D5? I bought a few chessbooks
Honestly I'm just looking for any advice you would give to someone on how to prepare / what to expect at a first tournament.
Thank you for your feedback and time
