Derik's Chess School students are guided to be choosy when you pick a tournament/ championship. This has to be done assessing one's grade i.e Level in DCS and the Tournament / Championship standards.
Some organisers campaign vigorously to attract more entries. Beginner/ intermediate player should not end up playing a National directly and loose all confidence.
Here is a way to choose:
If you are in Level one- Don't play any! You are in process...need little more basics learning.
If you are in Level 2- You can play DCS Events if stipulated for your batch. You can also play at local events if there are age groups.
If you are in Level 3- You are ready for age group events upto State Level. Local Open events also can be good choice for a valuable exposure. Avoid FIDE Rating Events and Higher age group Championships of National level.
If you are in Level 4- You are now ready for Age Group level National Tournament / Championship. Accumulating strength gradually for rating achievement. Gradually can be exposed to FIDE Rating events.
If you are in Level 5 and above - It's high time look for a Tournament/ Championship of higher levels. Always give preference to Open group.
ALL THE BEST!
