Tournament Preparation

I'm taking a month siesta from my Mythbusters series. There are plenty more to be confirmed or busted but I don't have the material in place to do so yet. Instead I'm going to share how I prepare for the more important tournaments. I'm sure every individual soul has a different way of preparing for tournaments. Some may brush up on reference positions, others may play and analyze their own matches, others still may do nothing at all. To each his own as everyone is a different level and what works best for one person may not work best for the next.

Stick,

A run of great articles!

Here, it would be instructive for you to finish the discussion of each position you show, so that more readers can test themselves and thus better understand how YOU would play each one over the board.

Stick,

Yes we read the article's for answers as well as the process. There is an element of arrogance in making the readers figure out the answers or type the problems into the bot. Esp the pay now/pay later problems here.

So please post the correct plays with or without rollouts.

Remember that that is why we have paid real money to join GV and that pays you your article writing fee

Cheers and See you at MC,

JAson
