Increase Endurance?

Sort:

I recently had to drop my last round of an OTB tournament due to fatigue and a headache. Is there any way to improve endurance in chess? Any advice is appreciated!

Chess like anything requires good physical, and mental stamina.

Exercise, and get plenty of rest.

Even a nap between rounds helps.

Serious, I recommend yoga. Korchnoi is the best example. At old age, he can still play classical chess tourneys.
