Hi everyone! I rarely ever post here, I was on GD for a short time as well(its good to be back here and playing go). There is a tournament just about 1 month away and I was wondering what all of you would recommend to be a good prep. I wasnt sure where to post this because I dont know my rank,(i still consider myself a beginner) but I think im somewhere between 11-18k if that makes a difference? |

If you know the time control of the tourney,you can start (or continue) to play online games with similar time controls, or, if you have a physical timer, do the same with opponents in person. It is good practice to get used to hitting the timer buttons, watching your clock, managing your time (opening, mid-game, endgame, etc.), and even picking up captured stones under time pressure. For an extra challenge, you can even give yourself LESS time than the tourney time control, as a training idea. Good luck. ![]() |

Try playing a few games with too few handicap. Does the tournament use no handi for people within 3 ranks of you? It can be very difficult to deal with stronger players if you're not used to having a little disadvantage. Try the inverse, too, if you can. Overconfidence kills us all. |
