Hi friends I am a passive chess player and I
haved played chess for more than 3yrs but
now I am willing to become a active
tournament player I have played few local
tournaments but now I am planning to play
my first rated tournament below 1600 and I
am eager to get rating I have 2 weeks left
for the tournament to start please give me
your valuable suggestions to get prepared
for the tournament as far as now I am
strong in white with colle zukertot but what
makes me worry is I realy don't have an
repoteri for black is there any similar
openings for black ku colle zukertot which is
easy to learn and less time consuming and
how should I prepare for tournament
concentrating on openings or tactics. time
control of the tournament is 1 hour each
and how should I use the time because I
generally play short games and I don't go
for coaching I prepare my self with chess
books ,videos and online game. please help
