Go up one level in this thread


I suspect GMs do a lot more preparation than is readily evident.  The amount of
knowledge most GMs have is virtually incomprehensible to most people.  I would
guess that if you asked any 2500+ GM who is currently playing regularly he could
probably tell you in surprising detail what every other comparable GM plays.
Preparation for an open tournament can then be compressed into a couple hours
with a database.  It's obviously not as complete as when they know in advance
who they'll be playing, but I suspect it's a lot better than most people
imagine.
