Hi Haram,
I think one of the main things to focus on is your technique to start with. If you can develop your strokes then you will have a good base to work with.
Take a look through our lessons on the Strokes & Technique page. If you can work your way through these then you will be on the right path.
To find the weaknesses of other players there is a list of things that you can work through. Take a look at the PingSkills Vault. This gives you an outline of things to look for.
At a tournament if you know the player you are going to play you should try to watch them as much as possible and see what other opponents are doing to win points against them.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
