Good luck in Brighton and enjoy the experience!

One more piece of advice - try going forward. If in the opening you get a few checkers hit and send back, make a high defensive anchor, build a forward position, and try to hit and go forward. Don't settle for a backgame to soon. But when your opponent has made a series of good blocking points, then stop hitting - see also a few of the other positions that were posted here today.
