A question I’ve received several times in the past few weeks is, “Should I play up a section?” For example, if you’re playing in an over-the-board tournament and your rating is 1700, should you play in the under 1800 section, or under 2000 section?
If I had tournaments where I could play up I certainly would. In my area and the tournaments I can attend it’s usually only two sections: open and reserve. So I’m getting about half of the playing up usually. I can be happy with that with my tournament schedule.
