my first tourney in a few hrs!

I played a team tournament game today (90 minutes + 30 seconds per move). The guy was rated 300 FIDE points above me, anyone got any advice for when playing tourneys against much stronger opponents?

play weird openings

1. b3 op

ruy lopez best opening as white

play in your own pace and strategies and try to stall him and make him rage so he won't perform well. (not guaranteed to work)

1. b3 op

its like you read my mind, do you have any links on where I can find free b3 lessons I can start with? the one on chessable is a bit expensive, I wanna make sure that it fits my style first XD

idk

cc lessons ig

I think that 90/30 is the ideal time control for today. The games aren't too long but not too fast either, but it's still classical. The longer games are about 4 hours. That ain't too bad.

When u enter ur first tournament go in to ur game like this, it's traditional for ur first event.:

This is why chess boxing getting more popular hehe

Imagine Fabi walking in acting like that. I wish I knew how to do the deep fakes so I could put some of the the top players faces on these fighters entering the ring or cage.

Best of luck, despite how ever late it is.

How it was?

yea i will probably i might even today

prob is the td didnt add my rating to uscf

Do u mean the td didn't submit the tournament report & none of the games counted towards ur rating?
