Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Perfect for newer players looking to gain tournament experience in a welcoming environment, this event offers three separate sections tailored to different skill levels (U600, U1000, and U1400). The moderate time controls (G/50 or G/30 with a 5-second delay) make for a brisk but manageable pace, and at $25–$45 entry, it's an affordable way to test yourself in Swiss-system competition.
