So a bit of context, I got into chess in like early 2024 but I was not so consistent,last year, a chess tournament was held in my school (Intra school chess tournament) and I got #1 place simply because most of the players didnt even know how to play chess or were complete beginners. My rating was around 1000 at that time, my school sent me to a district level chess tournament but I couldn't qualify, I got 4/6 (I needed 5/6 to qualify), fast forward a year later, I win my school tournament again this year, they send me to a district level chess tournament again, but this time not only did I qualify but even got #3, at that point I was nearing 1500, after that I got badly addicted to chess, I couldn't stop playing it, I really felt amazing playing chess, but I wasnt improving, I just went on playing and playing, at one point I had a breakthrough and managed to get 1500 or above in all time controls and even reached 1700 in bullet, but then I had a huge tilt and got to 1400 in all time formats which I havent fully recovered from yet, I got to 1500 in bullet but I am struggling to break through the 1400s in blitz and rapid, because I played chess so much in the last month, I have been compromising my studies a lot, now the consequences of my chess addiction are really visible in my academics, but that isnt the point of this post, since I got #3 in District level chess tournament, they will be making me play in 'Division Level chess tournament' and I really want to win it, I want to somehow manage both my studies and chess, I know its really difficult but Ill still try, so I really really want to win this upcoming tournament, but the thing is, I looked into some potential competition, since I am going to play division level, I am going to be facing opponents from different districts in my division, so I looked into one of the bigger districts in my division, Mumbai City, and heres what I found : [attached image], this guy is one of the top seeds in the district level tournament in Mumbai City (I guess the district level tournament happens at different time in every district) and he will very likely be winning the district level tournament and playing in division level tournament and likely also be my opponent, just look at his rating, 2281 is insane, I am just 1400, how do I hope to win the tournament which have players like these? Can I even win this tournament? The chance may be really really low for me to win, maybe even 0, but I really want to win, so I want to ask you guys, what should I do to win this upcoming tournament? How can I get better at chess? I am ready to temporarily sacrifice my studies and academics for this. Please guys, I really would like to win this 🙏🙏

How do I win a really difficult chess tournament?
