I concentrate on the openings.

Even very early, kep an eye open for a blunder from oponent, avoid making lone yourself.

Hey everyone , I'm playing a tournament quite soon and need all the info I can get! My question is- What should I concentrate on the most? Openings,Tactics,Chess Mentor, Endgame?
