Almost all of us must have participated in tournaments, but sometimes, we perform really poorly. If you have the same issue, then this post is your cup of tea.
To-dos in tournaments
Not to-dos in tournaments
Relax, or take a short nap in the breaks between matches.
Playing chess in the breaks between matches.
Practice matches of the same time-control as of the tournament.
Practicing matches of different time-control as of the tournament.
Practice an unconventional opening for the tournament.
Experimenting openings and making weird, absurd moves in the tournament.
Prepare yourself for as many openings as you can.
Not concentrating on your own game and looking at other games.
