Ep. 126: Should You Ever Withdraw From a Chess Tournament?

🎯 Please SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube Channel!

After much planning and preparation, you're excited to play in a 6-round weekend event, but find yourself 0-3 heading into round 4 and feeling frustrated and dejected. Should you finish out the tournament or withdraw? We take a look at this and more. Topics covered:

  • Weekend vs. club events
  • Why tournament conditions favor stronger players
  • Should you play "up?"
  • The "sunk cost fallacy" and tournament psychology
  • How to respond to "tilt"
