Kirk…
 Do not bullet your opening. (20mins plus 2 ni, dili ni blitz)
 Do not try to remember every line, play with your tactics and ideas in
gaining control over the position. (if wala na nasubay sa imong gitun.an
nga theory)
 Try to remember traps during the opening. Use your time during the
middle, semi blitz during the end game (if and only if your time is below
60 seconds)
 Do not give up that easily, (yahay sila ug mo surrender tag dali)
Joshua…
 Do not stress out yourself (makawala sa focus ang way uyab pero
mas makawala sa focus ug stress atong otok)
 Look for tactics (2 moves ahead if needed)
 Think first the consequences before putting your pieces in that
square ( mao raba jud ni kapildihan nimo ra)
 Continue having solid defense and position. (Dako na kaayo kag
improvement nakita naho na )
GOOD LUCK!!!
