Playing well in a single game is hard. Playing well across nine rounds, jet-lagged, against opponents who know your repertoire, is a different sport. This course covers the meta-game of tournament chess: building your prep tree, managing the clock, recovering from losses, sleeping and eating to peak, and the psychology of must-win and must-not-lose situations.

You will leave with a personal prep system, a pre-round routine, and a recovery protocol you can use at your next event.
