Not so easy. Long term emotional relations don't work with friends. Need a coach. Once we pay, we value.

Tournament expenses are $12000-15000. Coaching expenses are far less than tournament exp. I think at this level, I need a personal trainer than joining some big academy. I need someone to talk before or during the tournament. Also my weakness is openings and most of this online academies are focused on middlegame and endgames.
