Tournament Prep
I am playing in a tournament in a couple weeks. My USCF rating is lower than my actual rating is (I think). I won a tournament last year and it brought my rating up to 1061 USCF. In a couple weeks, I am playing in a u1200 division 6 round tournament. Honestly, my nerves are getting to me. There are a couple 1100's I'll be facing. And one lower rated player but his online rating trajectory is on the steady path forward. With this said, would you recommend studying endgames the next 2 weeks or continue with reassess your chess? I'm currently 1475 in Rapid (mostly 30 min games lately) on Chess dot com.

I think just doing tactics is fine. Maybe basic endgames is also good enough. Doing silman's book is not what you should be doing to prepare since it is a long-term thing. And also, do a lot of games and rest for a day or 2 before the tournament. BONUS TIP: Be aware of your sugar spikes btw like don't eat chocolate before a game and etc

@Justin Davito That always works ngl. I am also nervous at my first tournament that I can't think straight and blundered a tactic from miscalculation

Any opening is good. It depends on what you're looking for

Practice your endgames
https://lichess.org/dAIugufXeFnp This game as black shows why endgames are crucial. Maybe some mishaps but still converted the win

@Luciano Ivanovich Capablanca once said that Endgames should be learned above everything else after all.

Check out this #chess game: Davitow vs liftbert - https://www.chess.com/game/live/167769801666 I’ll admit, I don’t see the mate in five but thought something may be there! Bringing my queen out shortly after!
