For those that play in tournaments, what do you guys do as preparation for a tournament in the weeks or days before it starts?

The most important thing is to make sure you get enough sleep, and eat properly on tournament day.

Personally, I stick to slow games and avoid blitz for at least a couple of days before the tournament. And I do some tactics puzzles that require at least a little calculation. These help me get my head in the game before longer games than what I'm used to when practicing on the internet.

Eff all that.

I prepare for a month minimum until I'm confident in my openings.

THEN I'll enter a tournament.

If you are not aspiring to win the top prize or increase your ELO, just live your normal life.
