Something new-tournament prep

I hope everyone had a great Holiday time and is excited about the new year!

I am going to go to an OTB tournament (finally!) in two and a half weeks because once school starts up again there will be no OTB for awhile.  (and I will be back to my weekly ICC G/60)

For this tournament I am going to try something new (since I have the time)

I am going to continue with my daily tactics and endgame practice but will add the following:

• 3 styoko exercises a week leading up to the tournament.
• play TWO G/60 a week at ICC 
• Bonafide opening preparation!  (and before Chesstiger gets in a tizzy about opening study, I will state yet again that I have not purchased an opening book in two years and have only been studying openings as part of my post mortem analysis of games)
• The two days before the tournament will consist only of normal tactics and endgame practice.  That way I will be fresh for the tournament.

So who knows?   I am excited to get to an OTB tournament again.

I will be back later this week with another pro and con book review.

EDIT:  Instead of Styoko exercises I decided to go ahead play 1 or 2 extra G/60 a week leading up to the tournament.
