I think it brings out The Best in people.
Tournaments
i think thurnaments can bring the best game out of people, but it's highly frustrating when it reaches that level :) i have just participated n a turnament in the last two days, and there are two other matchse tomorow, but it doesn't matter because you need only 3 points to qualify to the next round, (which is the final, but it's more like a semifinal with the final together) my teacher and me settled on 2 out of 6, i have now 3 out of 4 and two to go...
but it is very frustrating to play opponents who are more experienced than you and have way more rating! i was 1324 at the begining of the turnament, the others were 1500-1600 at least, i even lost to an 1700+ in one game.
so agree that turnaments are good for your chess, but they are bad for your health... :Qh5#)
