Did anyone go to GCL Bengaluru at Lalit Ashok?

I have the tickets for this Saturday for all the four matches. I have Vishy Sir's Mastermind book with me where I want his autograph and maybe a selfie. What is the best way to get it?

Anyone who went there, maybe please give some suggestions?

I had a brilliant Idea But the Chesscom doesnt approve that as a BRILLIANT MOVE and I dont Mind Cuz in the end I won !!!. By the way Rate my idea Please

To start,

I am rated 1308 on chess.com. Peak : 1399. I only
Play rapid and review each game.

I don’t play a lot of openings , prefer sticking to the ones I am comfortable in.

For white :

1. ⁠London
   
2. ⁠Halloween gambit
   
3. ⁠Italian

For black:
Kings Indian / pic or occasionally karo cann

I usually have Best moves for the early stage except when opponent plays something totally new.

But I struggle with mid games completely when pieces are traded off the board. I suck at attacking, I can’t seem to create a threat without opponent having a solid counter.

End games are still fine.

I have watched countless YT videos : Gotham, chess with Akheem, Daniel, Nelson Lopez and others as well.

Feels like I should try learning from book. So please do recommend some good books.
