Theo's Top Tournament Tips

I'm a Life Master with a peak USCF rating of 2318 and 18 years of tournament experience! This ebook walks you through my recommended tournament routine, from weeks before the tournament until after the tournament. I'm a full-time chess coach, and I have mentioned bits of my advice in this ebook to my students, but I thought it would be helpful to put all my tournament advice in one place. Many topics are covered:

1) Which tournaments you should play

2) How often you should play

3) Which schedule you should play

4) How to train in the days before a tournament

5) Diet to maximize performance

6) Time management during the game

7) How to prepare for your opponents

People of different levels can benefit from this; even parents of chess players. I see even experienced tournament players making mistakes covered here.

I've used the advice in this ebook to win many tournaments, including

1) Turkey Bowl

2) Georgia Open

3) Orlando Magic Championship

4) Southern Open

5) Orlando Open

6) Gulf Coast Premier

7) Gainesville Open
