Try an opening variation that is unfamiliar to your opponent. If White, try d4 openings. If Black, try King’s Indian Defense when opponent tries d4, and Sicilian Defense if White plays e4. However, you have to do your homework as your opponent may know the response and you don’t know how to counter it. I suggest reading a book on openings. I like Ruy Lopez as White, and Sicilian Defense as Black.

Medieval tournaments first developed in earnest around the middle of the 11th and 12th century in France.

Interestingly enough, the rise of the medieval tourney seems to coincide with the rise of knighthood and the ceremony of dubbing itself. Medieval romance novels chronicling the tales of Arthur and others are one of the best and earliest sources for the rise and development of the tourney.

It makes sense that the rise of the tourney would coincide with the rise of knightly orders and chivalry itself because the idea of the tourney was to practice and, more importantly, display the skill and bravery of the knights involved.Chivalry is based deeply on the concept of building up a knight’s fame and glory for the benefit of himself, his lord, and his country. Therefore, the tourney was the perfect place to increase one’s fame.

Tourneys first took place primarily in France and especially Northern France. IIndeed, Henry I of England frequently traveled to France for the tourneys.

Again, most references to tourneys are found in period romance novels. For some primary source reading, check out Chretien de Troyes. He wrote Arthurian romance novels in the 12th century and is the first to write about the Holy Grail and Lancelot. Anyway, put out of your mind the idea of a tourney being simply a series of jousting matches between knights — that came later as the tourney developed more and more into a form of entertainment and ceremony.

The original tournaments covered a wide area of countryside and included villages. Those involved were more than just the knights, other lowers ranks such as archers and footsoldiers fought as well. Quite literally, the tourney was a mock battle, although the use of real arrows or crossbow bolts was frowned upon. If a knight were captured he was literally held for ransom and the horses and armor were taken as the spoils of the victor. Indeed, the mock battle was about as close to the real thing as you could get. One tournament actually came to be known as „the little battle of Chalons.“

it was because of this violence that kings and nobles soon began to put restrictions on tourneys by limiting their playing fields with „lists“ to demarcate the boundaries of the battle. The use of blunted swords and the rise of armour specifically designed for the tourney (padded leather) grew. In the later half of the 13th century the iconic one-on-one jousts began to become much more popular as the tourney become less about a „mock war“ and more about a „mock duel.“ By the end of the 13th century the tourney became much more ceremonious and the threat of death to the participants and the spectators alike decreased dramatically.

Just happened to read an article on the topic.

“
The NHL has staged six Stanley Cup tournaments since the salary cap was introduced in 2005-06, so there have been 12 examples of each seed – six of each in the East, six of each in the West. Only three No. 8 seeds (25 percent) have won in the first round. Only two No. 7 seeds (16 percent) have.

The wild cards are the fifth and sixth seeds. Seven fifth seeds (55 percent) have won in the first round. Six sixth seeds (50 percent) have. But the middle matchups are always the most competitive in a seeding system, and the NHL awards division winners the top three seeds in each conference, pushing superior teams down in the order. Both third seeds had fewer points than the sixth seeds this season. Who’s the underdog?“

If it ever appears that you can take out his king, what has actually happened is:
  •   Your opponent moved into check.
  •   Your opponent is not allowed to do that; it’s illegal.
Tell him to take back his illegal move, and make a legal move instead.

In a tournament, if your opponent moved into check, or made some other illegal move:
  •   Hit his clock so that this discussion happens on his time, and
  •   Tell him that he has made an illegal move.
Your opponent is required take back the illegal move, and then make a legal move.
Touch move rules still apply. If there is a disagreement,
stop the clocks and call the tournament director (TD) for a decision.
Penalty can often be assessed to the opponent.
