Tips  提点

In order to perform well and stay focus for the entire tournament, please reframe your child from using the computer for other games except chess. Playing or running around will result in burning their energy faster especially for the last 2 rounds. Bring a chess set for post game analysis. Have their mind set for the tournament at least 5 minutes before the game. Avoid having a full meal or junk food or anything high in sugar.
