nugodog 10-Mar-08, 15:50	Opening preparation Hi guys, its been a long time since I've been active on this forum. I'm playing in a very strong tournament next week or so. I was wondering what is the best opening preparation I could give myself in that amount of time? If you guys are wondering what tournament it is. Please visit www.doeberlcup.com.au If anyone is playing in it please do tell me by privately messaging me.

If you know who you are playing, you can review a few of their games, but I guess you won't get that opportunity. Also, when you are 'out of book knowledge' in a game you are playing there in the tournament, take a bit extra time, probably your opponent has messed up (or you), and there might be some kind of opportunity...

nugodog 28-Mar-08, 18:06	hey yeah it was a really nice tournament, change of venues this year and great amount of sponsership and strong opposition. Arguably the best doeberl cup its ever been in the 46 years since the start. I recommend to all to play one time and visit australia for a great holiday and experience.
