So guys there’s a chess tournament that I will be participating in soon ,it will happen on the 20th of June ,and I want help preparing for it ,now I’m playing some causal games with the head of our chess federation in Palestine ,I’m rated 2000 + elo online so I’m pretty good but I want help from friends who are good ,better or worse in studying some theoretical lines and famous openings that I’m very sure I will face
Like the kings gambit ,queens gambit ,carro kan ,Sicilian etc
I will be using an account called Red Nablus on Lichess to play and train with anyone who can help me ,we will play unrated games ,960 and normal chess
But you need to know chess to help ,no Cheating
I hope someone here is good at chess ,at least above 1500 elo on lichess or on chess.com
I really want to win this tournament and would appreciate help
I'm all little out of mainstream chess at the moment, but my impression was that King's Gambit is not popular anymore. In no particular order, I've found these openings popular in tournament play: French defence, Sicilian, Scandinavian, caro kann, Pirc defence, Queen's Gambit (both accepted and declined), Ruy Lopez.
Online chess streamers have also popularized dubious play and trap-setting, so those are scenarios you might want to mentally prepare for.
If it's a in-person tournament, don't ignore the psychological factors. If it's a different time control than you're used to playing, play that time control.
Best of luck!
Bro we’re not playing for a continental championship ,any legitimate opening including gambits like the kings gambit will be played
Are you above 1000 elo if so ,I’d like to play you even if you’re a bit rusty now
Yes it’s in person
